Author(s): NS Gill, ML Verma and JC Sharma
Abstract: Field study was conducted to assess the effect of levels of N, P and Kon yield and quality of cherry tomato (Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme) at the research farm of the department of Soil Science and Water Management, Nauni, Solan-Himachal Pradesh during kharif seasons of 2014 and 2015. Results revealed that maximum yield of fruit (22.41q ha-1), shoot (15.22q ha-1) and root dry matter (4.16 q ha-1 ) were recorded under T6 (125% recommended dose of NPK) treatment and minimum yield of fruit (16.54 q ha-1), shoot (13.59 q ha-1) and root dry matter (3.72 q ha-1) were recorded under T1 (without NPK fertilizers) treatment. Maximum fruit size (3.36 cm2), fruit weight (9.29 g) and TSS (8.690 Brix) were recorded under T6 treatmentand the minimum fruit size (2.73 cm2 ), fruit weight (8.26 g) and TSS (7.53o Brix) were recorded under T1 treatment.Maximum number of fruits per cluster (18.94), number of cluster per plant (8.27) and number of fruits per plant (156.55) were also recorded under T6 treatmentand minimum number of fruits per cluster (18.08), number of cluster per plant (7.33) and number of fruits per plant (132.63) were recorded under T1 treatment.
