Abstract: An experiment was conducted at field condition during 2018 as summer irrigated crop to study the effect of phyto-chemicals (naphthalene acetic acid-NAA-20 ppm, chloro choline chloride-CCC- 200 ppm, gibberellic acid-GA3-20 ppm and salicylic acid-SA-100 ppm) with nutrients nitrogen (2% urea) and phosphorus (2% mono ammonium phosphate-MAP) alone and combinations on physiological parameters and yield of tomato by foliar spray at 30 and 60 days after transplanting. The physiological parameters like chlorophyll, soluble protein content, number of flower per plant, total sugars, ascorbic acid and yield were estimated. Foliar spray of 2% urea with 100 ppm salicylic acid acid registered higher chlorophyll content (2.36 mg g-1), soluble protein (12.9 mg g-1), yield (32.42 t ha-1), total sugars (36.3 g 100 g-1) and ascorbic acid (27 g 100 g-1). However, the highest number of flowers (46) was recorded by foliar spray of 2% urea + 20 ppm GA3 followed by 2% MAP with 100 ppm salicylic acid (44).
