Abstract
A field experiment was conducted at the Horticultural Farm of Sher-e-Bangla
Agricultural University, Dhaka from October, 2017 to March, 2018. There were four
combination of micronutrients viz. N
0
(4+2 kg/ha ), N
3
- 0 kg/ha, N
1
- Zn+B (2+1.5 kg/ha), N
2
-Zn+ B (6+2.5 kg/ha) and four levels of manure viz M
0
Cowdung
(15 t/ha), M
2
-Poultry manure (10 t/ha), M
3
-(Cowdung 7.5 t/ha+ Poultry
manure 5 t/ha). The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design
with 3 replications. Application of micronutrients and manure significantly influenced
the growth, yield and size of tomato. For micronutrients the highest yield (66.96 t/ha)
was found from N
2
and the lowest yield (25.69 t/ha) was obtained from N
0
. Due to
application of organic, the highest yield (50.78 t/ha) was obtained from M
3
and lowest
yield (39.86 t/ha) was recorded from M
0
. In case of combined effect, the highest yield
(76.33 t/ha) was found from N
2
M
3
and lowest yield (24.60 t/ha) was found from N
0
.
Economic analysis raveled that N
2
M
3
gave the maximum benefit cost ratio (3.2). So,
application of Zn+ B (4+2 kg/ha) along with Cowdung 7.5 t +Poultry manure 5 t/ha
was the best for growth and yield of tomato.
