EFFECT OF GENEMAX ON GROWTH YIELD AND QUALITY ATTRIBUTES OF TOMATO(LycopsiCon esculentum Mill)

Abstract

experiment was conducted to evaa quatity attributes of loiflato cv. I3ARI tomato-9 at the 1 lorticulture Research Centre LicId. Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (I3ARJ), Joydehpur, Ciazipur dg i ô October 2007 to March 2008 with plant spacing 60 cm x 40cm. It was urin conducted in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCI3D) with three replications. Geneniax CieneinaX 4 milL and I No Genemax (control) were applied as foliar The five treatments like T1 = Genemax I milL, T2 = GenciflaX 2 mI /L, application at 15 days interval, two times after the establishment of seedling. Effect ol diLThrcflt levels of Genenuix was significantlY varicd.ihe highest (85 ta/ha) ) and the lowest yield was found from T< treatmcnt(COfltrot). Similarly, better performance was observed in spraying of yield was obtained from T 2 treatiflelll (2 inlL 4 CieneI1ax at 2mlL' coneentiation in respect of yield plani' (6.45 kg), plant height (97.07 cm).
