Abstract
A field experiment was conducted in the field of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute,
Gazipur, Bangladesh, during October to January to the incidence of tomato variety development
under organic condition. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Completely Block Design
(RCBD) with New9, New10, CLN3125-0-19, AVTO 1201, 3241AA, New13, CLN3324A and
CLN3150A5 were used as treatment and five replications. For this study, data were calculated on
average plant height, number of leaves, number of cluster, number of fruits, number of flower,
chlorophyll content (%) percentage.
The maximum plant height was observed in New 13 which is (127.6 cm) and the minimum height
was observed in New 9 which is (83 cm).The maximum number of leaves was observed in the
variety CLN3324A (175) and the minimum number of leaves was observed in New 9 (103.8).
The maximum chlorophyll percentage (58.12) was found in CLN3125-0-19, while the minimum
chlorophyll percentage (47.42) was found in AVTO1201 at 55 DAT.
The maximum number of cluster was observed in the variety New 13 which is (18.2) and the
minimum number of cluster observed in the variety AVTO1201 which is (6).The maximum
number of flower (32.4) was found in New 13, while the minimum number of flower (15) was
found in AVTO 1201 at 55 DAT. Significantly at 50 DAT the maximum and minimum flower
found in same varieties as found in 55 DAT. But the change was happened before that at 45 DAT
the minimum flower found in 3241AA which was (2.8) and maximum was found in same variety
as 50 DAT and 55 DAT in New 13.
The maximum number of fruit (37.2) was found in New 13, while the minimum number of fruit
(7.2) was found in New 10. Significantly at 45 DAT there seems some different in minimum fruit
variety. Minimum fruit variety found in AVTO 1201 which was (1) and the maximum fruit found
in New 13 which was (8). That was mainly the fruit content of minimum and maximum varieties.
The average maximum fruit length (4.38) cm was found in New13. The highest fruit width 3.62
cm followed by CLN3125-0-19. The highest individual fruit weight 77 gm was found in
CLN3125-0-19 and AVTO1201. The highest fruit locules 3.67 followed by CLN3125-0-19. The
highest fruit flesh thickness 0.4 mm followed by AVTO1201 and CLN3150A5. The maximum
average individual brix percentage 4.9 was found in CLN3150A5.
The minimum fruit length 2.18 cm was found in New10. The lowest fruit width was 2.36 cm was
found in New10. The lowest individual fruit weight 33 gm was found in New10.The lowest fruit
locules was 2.36 mm was found in New10, AVTO1201 and CLN3150A5. The lowest fruit flesh
thickness was 0.3 mm was found in New10 and New13. The minimum individual brix percentage
3.8 was found in New10.
The maximum yield per plot 41.64 kg found in CLN3125-0-19 while the minimum yield per plot
20.6 kg found in AVTO 1201 was recorded.

ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW
BARI Front View

History
BARI has long historical back ground of its own. The emergence of the institute in this present
from has occurred through a number of changes starting from simply a sub - ordinate status under
the Department of Land Records in the Bengal. On the recommendation of the famine commission
in 1880, the Bengal Department of agriculture was established as a sub–ordinate part of the
Department of Land Records in then Bengal. In 1906 Lord Curzon, The then Vice Roy of India
had granted separate status to the Bengal Department of Agriculture and in the same year, a nuclear
Agricultural Research Laboratory under this department was established at Tejgaon, Dhaka. In
1908 an experimental station what has become known as Dhaka Farm was established on an area
of 161.20 hectares of land. This Dhaka Farm was the predecessor of BARI and some other research
institute.
In 1947, Bengal Department of Agriculture was renamed as East Pakistan Department of
Agriculture. The two constituent division of department were Research and Extension. In 1962
there were a sever blow to Agriculture Research when the land of Dhaka was acquired for
establishing second capital (Today called Sher-e Bangla Nagar). In 1968 two separates directorates
were established-one was Directorate of Agriculture (Extension and Management) and other was
Directorate of Agriculture (Research and Education).
The Directorate of Agriculture (Research and Education) was mostly concern with research. This
directorate as well responsible for management of Bangladesh Agricultural Institute (BAI) at Sher-
e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka. Later in eighties and nineties, two other Agricultural Colleges, one in
Patuakali and the other in Dinajpur, were established. These Agricultural Collages were also
administered by BARI until these became universities.
In 1971, the former provincial organization took on national responsibilities. Like many sectors,
Agriculture as well inherited poor manpower and insufficient administrative set up. Therefore, it
was rightly tough to have established a coordinated and comprehensive research and some major
decisions were taken up in 1973.
Another important development in the year was the presidential order No. XXXII that helps
strengthen and reconstitute agricultural research organizations and system in the country. Upon
subsequent developments of research institutions led to further restructuring. In 1976 through the

xii
presidential order No. LXII, the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI) was emerged
as an autonomous effective research organization following the dissolution of the Directorate of
Agriculture (Research and Education) with sufficient operational flexibility, structural
modification, and improvement of regional and sub-stations.
 Mandate:
 Undertake research to ensure a stable and productive agriculture through scientific
management of land and soil.
 Development of new varieties of various agricultural products and development of
appropriate technology and pest management methods.
 Provide farmer with information necessary for carrying out their farming business
efficiently and profitably.
 Set up research Centre and sub-station project areas and farms in different regions on
various problem of agriculture.
 Carry out demonstration test and trail of new varieties of crops and their management
practices.
 Publish annual reports, agricultural manuals, monograph, bulletins and other literature
related to crop research and activities if the institute.
 Provide post-graduate research facilities.
 Organize seminar, symposia and workshops on selected problems which may offer
specialists from different research institutes and station opportunity to exchange ideas and
be acquainted with the recent advancements in agriculture.
 Location
BARI is an institute has its central research station at Joydebpur about 35 kilometers North of
Dhaka. The research compound of the central Station is spared over 176 hectares of land which
126 hectares are experiment fields Function of BARI.

 Scope of Research
BARI is the largest multi- crop research institute conducting research on a wide variety of crops,
such as cereals, tubers, pulses, oilseeds, vegetables, fruits, spices, flowers, etc. in Bangladesh.
Besides variety development, this institute carries out research on such areas as soil and crop
management, disease and insect management, water management and irrigation, development of
farm machinery, improvement of cropping and farming system management, post-harvest
handling and processing, and socio-economic studies related to production, processing, marketing
and consumption.
 Function of BARI
The institute functions with the director general as the chief executive along with three directors
of three of its major wings, such as Research Wing, Support Service Wing, and Training and
Communication Wing. The Research Wing executes and monitors all the research programmers
and other research activities through 7 special crop research centers, 17 research divisions, 7
regional research stations and 28 sub-stations.
Support Service Wing provides all the logistic supports in research and personnel management.
This wing is also responsible for infrastructural development and general procurement of the
institute. The Training and Communication Wing is responsible for human resource development
through conducting trainings and arranging scholarships for higher studies. Dissemination of
information through print and electronic media, organizing seminars and symposia are also the
important areas of activities of this wing.
Among others state-of-the-art R&D facilities, the institute has got a dedicated Agro-
Environmental Remote Sensing and Modeling (ARSAM) laboratory within Agricultural Statistics
and ICT (ASICT) Division which is conducting research and development activities employing
remotely sensed and other geospatial data and information in agriculture sector. This makes BARI
a unique choice to make partnership with for any g4aw and/or similar project to be designed for
Bangladesh.

History of IUBAT
IUBAT – International University of Business Agriculture and Technology is the first non-
government university established in Bangladesh. The initial planning began in 1989 and the
university was established in 1991. Degree programs started in 1992 with agreement with
Assumption University of Bangkok, Thailand. IUBAT strongly lobbied for the creation of non-
government universities and supported the initiative of the Government of Bangladesh in passing
legislation for formal establishment of non-government universities in the country. IUBAT now
operates as a government approved university under the Non-Government University Act of 1992.
The tremendous need for developing human resources of the society to bring in socio economic
transformation through the agro economic industrial development process constituted the
background for establishing IUBAT. The less than satisfactory condition of existing universities
and the wide gap between demand and supply (in quantity, quality and variety) provided additional
basis to think of making an investment in human resources development through which
fundamental economic and social problems of the society can be tackled by the people on a self-

xvi
reliant basis. This thought process was accelerated in March, 1989 during a 3 week visit to Kansas
State University by Dr. M. Alimullah Miyan, Director of Institute of Business Administration
(IBA), Dhaka University, where research and consultation led to development of a paper
incorporating the idea of a non-government university and also that of a cooperative agreement
with the Kansas State University to support the realization of the idea. A formal representation
was made to the Ministry of Education, Government of Bangladesh in June, 1989 on the
establishment of this new university.
IUBAT is geared to effectively contribute to agro economic, technological and social development
of Bangladesh. The aim is to promote higher professional education with relevance to those growth
areas of the economy which require qualified human resources and create a climate of
professionalism and scholasticism to promote further development of the society. It is contended
that the fundamental economic problems of the society can be tackled by people through an
investment in human resources development and in the process promote self-reliance in agro
economic development and higher education.
Since establishment, IUBAT has grown steadily. IUBAT now offers one program leading to a post
graduate degree, nine programs leading to professional bachelor degrees and two programs leading
to professional diplomas. In the short run, IUBAT has plans to add a few new programs. In the
long run, IUBAT plans to offer programs in most of the professional disciplines relevant to a
developing society. IUBAT operates as a non-profit institution and offers academically rigorous,
but practical, instruction in professional disciplines. Md. Alimullah Miyan is the Founder of
IUBAT and recognized by the Government of Bangladesh as the Founder of the university. The
institution derived inspiration from a group of educationists and professionals from within the
country and abroad.
Mission
The overall mission of IUBAT is human resources development through appropriate teaching,
training and guidance as well as creation of knowledge conducive to socio-agro-economic
development of developing societies in general and that of Bangladesh in particular. This overall
mission is being attained through offering courses and curricula relating to various aspects of
knowledge as well as providing opportunities for individuals to acquire skill and relevant
experience in the chosen field of specialization.

agreements have been executed with a few of these institutions. While credit transfer is possible
in all institutions across the world as per regulations, these agreements provide for unblock transfer
of students and degree award of the cooperating university.
Agricultural Research Stations
IUBAT has only one campus at Uttara Model Town, Dhaka, Bangladesh. There is no branch of
the university carrying out any teaching program of the university anywhere in the country or
outside.There is an Integrated Haor Development Project (IHDP) of the College of Agricultural
Sciences (CAS) at Bancharampur Upazilla of Brahmman Baria District on a Haor (marshy land)
of 347 acres (around 141 hectare). The IHDP involves work with the local Fisher (Dibor)
Community and the local Upazilla authority to increase fish production and the later activities for
improving the overall socioeconomic conditions of the area, more particularly of that of the Dibor
Community. The project involves fish farming, fishers’ training, afforestation, nursery, KBAD,
women’s training, income generating initiatives, and the like activities. There is an Agricultural
Research Station on 100 acres (around 41 hectare) of land at Naikhanchari, Bandarban district
which is being developed. This research station will provide facilities to conduct research in
highland agriculture, horticulture, floriculture and rubber cultivation. An experimental farm for
the College of Agricultural Sciences is being established at Sreepur with the initial land area of
around 11 acres. IUBAT College of Agricultural Sciences (ICAS) believes in maintaining organic
harmony with the rural community and initiatives are being taken to realize this vision. ICAS is in

xix
the process of establishing IUBAT Agricultural Advisory Services (call center) for the farmers
who can avail the services of the experts of the ICAS in solving their farm related problem over
telephone, SMS, email, mail and personal visits. An website in Bangla has been developed and
will be fully operational within first quarter of 2015 (www.iubat.edu/iaas).
Organization
IUBAT is organized into colleges, departments and centers for academic activities. The
management of the university is conducted in line with the provisions of the Non-Government
University Act of 1992. The highest policy making body is the Board of Governors, chaired by the
Founder of IUBAT. The Board of Governors has appropriate representation of the Founder,
recognized professional groups in the society, academics as well as other interest groups, alumni,
donors and contributors to the educational programs of the university. The composition of the
present Board of Governors has been shown in the administrative section of the bulletin. There is
an Academic Council, which is the main policy and programming body for academic affairs of the
university. The Academic Council decisions are reported and ratified by the Board of Governors.
The Academic Council consists of all faculty of IUBAT and meets every month.
Educational Aids
Students are required to purchase their books and reading materials which they must read critically
and attentively, learn to work through texts on their own, understand these and come to class
prepared to ask questions and offer interpretation of texts. To develop sound study habits,
arrangements are made for supervised reading sessions. Students are required to prepare daily
work assignments, participate in class discussions, make presentations and sit for periodical
quizzes and tests. Arrangements are also made to hold seminars by executives or academicians on
subjects of current and research interest.
BSAg PROGRAM
In any developing country, agriculture plays a significant role by transforming traditional
cultivation system into a modern one agriculture. With the advancement of science this field is
also being enriched with newer practices and ideas. To cope with increasing demand of qualified
agriculture graduates this program of the College of Agricultural Sciences of IUBAT is aimed at
to build up well-trained, expert, energetic and enthusiastic men and women. Both in the

xx
international area and also in the international job market there are plenty of scopes of working for
the agriculture graduates in several agro-based commercial sectors, service sectors besides
agricultural farms. The Bachelor of Science in Agriculture (BSAg) program is a blend of
agriculture education with social sciences, business and computer technology disciplines.
PROGRAM OF STUDY
The program includes all the components of agriculture science like agronomy, soil science,
horticulture, plant protection, agricultural economics, extension and communication, etc. The
policy is to develop agriculture graduates capable of working in any area of agriculture service and
research, and also in other areas. The program provides preparatory and foundation courses in
initial years and professional education in third and fourth years with the options of completing
the whole program in IUBAT or transferring credits after two years of study to IUBAT’s
collaborating universities in North America. The academic program is broad and includes courses
from basic sciences and other related disciplines. The program requires completion of 145 credit
hours of study including field projects, and practicum in the form of internship for a semester.
Transfer of credit at the Bachelor level is possible in North American, Australian, and European
universities. However, mid-course unblock transfer arrangements for overseas degrees at the
BSAg level have been completed with some universities abroad, details of which are available
with International Office of the university. Transfer credit as well as the degree is eligible for
higher studies in any university of the world.
PRACTICUM
CAS places great emphasis on the value of practical work experience in all professional degree
programs. Besides, agricultural science being one among the most applied sciences requires more
hand-on field experience and training. On the other hand, agriculture being a research-oriented
discipline, the students must be well-conversant in research methodology. In the fourth year of
study CAS will place BSAg students as interns with suitable organizations or field projects. This
internship is an integral part of BSAg program, with 9 credit hours weight

INTRODUCTION
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) belongs to the family Solanaceae. It was originated in tropical
America (Salunkhe et al.1987), particularly in peru, Ecuador and Bolivia of the Andes (Kalloo,
1989). It is one of the important, popular and nutritious vegetables grown in Bangladesh in both
winter and summer season around all parts of the country (Haque et al., 1999). Bangladesh
produces 103 thousand tons of tomato from 18.16 thousand hectares of land, the average yield
being 8.72 t/ha (BBS, 2010). This yield is very low compared to other tomato growing countries.
This low yield may be due to use of low yielding varieties and poor crop management.
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), belonging to family Solanaceae, is an important vegetable. It
is warm season crop; requires warm and cool climate for its successful cultivation. The plant
cannot withstand frost and high humidity. Also light intensity affect pigmentation, fruit color and
fruit set. The plant is highly affected by adverse climatic conditions. It requires different climatic
range for seed germination, seedling growth, flower and fruit set, and fruit quality. Temperature
below 10°C and above 30°C adversely affects plant tissue. The 21-24°C is the optimum range of
temperature for successful cultivation of tomato.
Tomato outranks all others in terms of total contribution of vitamins and minerals to the diet,
mainly because of the large volume consumed both in fresh and processed forms (Opena 1987). It
is one of the most important popular salad vegetables and is used to make soups, conserves,
pickles, ketchup’s, sauces, juices etc. It is also excellent source of vitamin C and is commonly
referred to as poor man’s orange.
The area under tomato cultivation in Bangladesh during the year 1980, 1990, and 2000 was 8.9,
11.7, and 15 thousand hectares respectively with a production of 64, 98 and 100 thousand metric
tons (Anonymous 2005). In Bangladesh, it ranks 2nd which is next to potato (BBS, 2009) and top
the list of canned vegetables. It is a self-fertilized annual crop.
The average yield of tomato in Bangladesh is very low as compared to world average or some
other tomato growing countries. The average yield of tomato in Bangladesh 7.3 ton / hectare

2
(Anonymous 1999) is remarkably poor compared to world average 27.8 metric tons / hectare
(Anonymous 1997).
Tomato fruit contain water 93.1%, protein 1.9%, fat 0.3gm, fibre 0.7%, carbohydrates 3.6%,
calorie 23, vitamin ‘A’ (320 I. U)., vitamin ‘B1’( 0.07 mg,) vitamin ‘B2 (0.01 mg), nicotinic acid
(0.4 mg,) vitamin ‘C’ (31 mg,) calcium (20 mg,) phosphorus (36 mg) and iron (0.8 mg.) (Mandloi
R., 2013).
Organic matter is a source of food for the innumerable number of microorganisms and creatures
like earthworm who breaks down these to micronutrients, which are easily absorbed by the plants.
Organic manure plays a direct role in plant growth as a source of all necessary macro and
micronutrients in available forms during mineralization, improving the physical and physiological
properties of soils. Organic manures such as cow dung, poultry manure and vermin compost
improves the soil structure, aeration, slow release nutrient which support root development leading
to higher growth and yield of tomato plants. The macronutrients calcium and micronutrients boron,
manganese, molybdenum and iron are important for tomato cultivation. Biologically active soils
with adequate organic matter usually supply enough of these nutrients (Singh and Kushwah 2006).
In Bangladesh, a large number of tomato varieties are grown which are of exotic origin and were
developed long before. Most of them lost their potentiality due to genetic deterioration and disease
contamination. Hence, in order to improve the present situation of tomato production in
Bangladesh, it is essential to better varieties to the growers of Bangladesh. Recently the
Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI) developed some varieties with good
contributing characters.
Tomato can be grown on a wide range of soil types, ranging from light sand to heavy loam or,
even clay that are well supplied with organic matter (Kaynes, 1995). Fertilizer management is one
of the most important factors, which assured crop production. Use of chemical fertilizers in crop
production is one of the important causes of environmental pollution. Use of organic matter in
crop production has many advantages over chemical fertilizers. Organic manure saves the crop
plants from adverse environment.
Stage of maturity at harvest is another important factor regulating different physiological changes
during storage and ripening of tomato. Storage quality of tomato is highly dependent upon the

3
stage of harvesting. Tomatoes when harvested at later stages had reduced shelf life, while early
harvesting caused more loss in weight but showed better storability (Subburamu et. al.1990).
Shelf life depends to a great extent on the variety and to some extent on the storing condition
(Morimoto and Hashimoto 2003). Research in many countries of the world contributed to the
development of variety with good shelf life of tomato.
Tomato is one of the most popular, nutritious vegetables and widely grown in Bangladesh and
most of the country of the world. The response of tomato the different types of organic manures
has been investigated by numerous investigators in various parts of the world. The consumers
purchase fruits on the basis of quality of tomato fruit is largely dependent on the stage of maturity
of fruits and various ripening conditions. During storage changes in physiological characteristics
as well as ripening must be determined the fitness of tomato fruit for fresh consumption and
marketing. In Bangladesh little work (s) has been done in the respect. The reports on shelf life of
tomato are scants. However, available literature and their findings on some different varieties of
tomato and stage of maturity at harvest regulating different physiological changes during storage
and ripening of tomato have been reviewed in this chapter under the following headings.
Increasing the production and improving the keeping quality of tomato are of paramount
importance, now-a-days, for meeting the internal demand the consumers. Hence efforts should be
given to identify varieties with high yield potential and long shelf life. Adequate information’s on
field and storage performance of tomato cultivars are lacking in the country.
The present study was undertaken in view of the following objectives:
OBJECTIVE:
Broad objective: The broad of objective of this report is to discourse about “Effect of growth and
yield of different genotypes of tomato under organic condition (Solanum lycopersicum L.)”
Specific objective:
 To determine the effect of organic fertilizer on tomato varieties;
 To identify the best variety under organic conditions.

Chapter 2
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Tomato is one of the most important vegetables crops grown under field and greenhouse condition,
which received much attention to the researchers throughout the world. Among various research
works, investigations have been made in various parts of the world to determine the suitable
organic manure and variety for practices for its successful cultivation. The organic manure plays
an important role in tomato production. In Bangladesh, there are a little study on the influence of
organic manure and variety on the growth and yield in tomato. However, the relevant literature on
tomato and some other related crops available in these connections have been reviewed here with
the hope that this might contribute to the present study.
In a performance trial of six varieties of tomato conducted at the Bangladesh Agricultural Research
Institute, Joydebpur, Hossain and Ahmed (1973) observed that cv. Sanmarzano was the highest
yielder (28.98 t/ha), followed by ‘Oxheart’, ‘Roma’, Bulgaria, USA and Anabik. They also
observed that ‘Oxheart’ produce the longest fruits with the average weight of 87 g followed by the
Bulgaria, Roma, USA, Anabik and Sanmarzano.
A yield trial was conducted at the vegetable Division of Agricultural Research Institute, Dhaka in
1969-70, with five varieties of tomato (‘Oxheart’, ‘Sinkurihara’, ‘L-7’, ‘Marglobe’ and
‘Bulgaria’). The experiment was repeated in 1971-72. In both years, the varieties ‘Oxheart’ and
‘Sinkurihara’ were found to be similar and significantly higher yielder than the others (Hoque et
al., 1975).
An experiment was conducted with two summer tomato varieties (BINA Tomato 2 and BINA
Tomato 3) to study the yield performance at 3 locations of Bangladesh (Magura, Comilla and
Khulna) during the summer season (BINA 1998). It was observed that ‘BINA Tomato 2’ produced
higher fruit yield at Magura (38 t/ha) and Khulna (17 t/ha), while ‘BINA Tomato 3’ gave higher
yield (29 t/ha) at Comilla. However mean fruit yield from three locations showed that, the variety
‘BINA Tomato 2’ produced higher fruit yield than ‘BINA Tomato 3’

Nileema, and Sreenivasa, (2011) was conducted an experiment at main Agricultural Research
Station, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad to study the influence of liquid organic
manures, viz. panchagavya, jeevamruth and beejamruth on the growth, nutrient content and yield
of tomato in the sterilized soil during kharif 2009. The various types of organic solutions prepared
from plant and animal origin are effective in the promotion of growth and fruiting in tomato. The
Panchagavya is an efficient plant growth stimulant that enhances the biological efficiency of crops.
It is used to activate biological reactions in the soil and to protect the plants from disease incidence.
Jeevamruth promotes immense biological activity in soil and enhance nutrient availability to crop.
Beejamruth protect the crop from soil borne and seed borne pathogens and also improves seed
germination. Significantly the highest plant growth and root length was recorded with the
application of RDF + Beejamruth + Jeevamruth + Panchagavya and it was found to be significantly
superior over other treatments. The application of Beejamruth + Jeevamruth + Panchagavya was
next best treatment and resulted in significantly the highest yield as compared to RDF alone.
Jagadeesha, (2008) conducted a field experiment was conducted at the University of Agricultural
Sciences, Dharwad during kharif season of 2007 to study the effect of organic manures and
biofertilziers on plant growth, seed yield and quality parameters in tomato. Results of field
experiment in kharif 2007 revealed that, application of RDF (60:50:30 kg NPK/ha) + biofertilzier
(Azospirillum and P solubilizing bacteria 2.5 kg/ha each) records higher plant height (64.37,
109.50 and 162.33 cm), number of leaves (92.50, 153.33 and 146.50), leaf area (898.05, 4314.31
and 4310.94 cm2) and leaf area index (898.05, 4314.31 and 4310.94 cm2) at 30, 60 and 90 DAT
respectively and records lesser days to 50 per cent flowering (38.00) followed by FYM (50%) +
vermicompost (50%) + biofertilzier. The application of RDF + biofertilziers records higher seed
yield (106.87 kg/ha) followed by FYM (50%) + vermicompost (50%) (101.94 kg/ha) over FYM
alone. The seed yield was significantly higher with the application of RDF + biofertilziers was
attributed to number of fruits per plant (45.22) number of seeds per fruit (109.45) fruit weight per
plant (1280.98 g) and 1000 seed weight (2.84 g).
Sathish et al. (2009) Studies were carried out to evaluate biological activity of organic manures
against tomato fruit borer, Helicoverpa armigera (Hub.) and safety of otanicals and biopesticides
against egg parasitoid, richogramma chilonis Ishii and biochemical effects of Pseudomonas
florescens on tomato under pot culture conditions. The feeding and infestation of the larvae of H.

6
armigera were significantly low in farm yard manure (FYM) zospirillum+silicate solubilising
bacteria (SSB)+Phosphobacteria+neem cake applied plants followed by
FYM+Azospirillum+SSB+Phosphobacteria+mahua cake applied plants. Trichogramma
parasitization on H. armigera eggs was adversely effected by neem oil 3% on treated plants
followed by neem seed kernel extract (NSKE 5%)+spinosad 75 g a.i./ha. Under laboratory
condition among the microbial pesticide tested Spinosad (75 g a.i./ha), HaNPV+Spinosad+Bt
(1.5×1012 POBs/ha+75 g a.i./ha+15000 IU/mg (2 lit/ha)), Spinosad+Bt (75 g a.i./ha+15000
IU/mg-2 lit/ha) showed higher insecticidal toxicity (100 per cent mortality on 72 h) to all instars
of H. armigera larvae. Biochemical parameters like phenol content, peroxidase and phenyl alanine
ammonialyase (PAL) activity recorded higher levels in Pseudomonas florescens seed treatment @
30 g/kg of seed and its foliar spray @ 1 g/litre in treated tomato plants.
Goutam, et al. (2011) Field trials was conducted a field trials where using different fertilizers
having equal concentration of nutrients to determine their impact on different growth parameters
of tomato plants. Six types of experimental plots were prepared whereT1 was kept as control and
five others were treated by different category of fertilizers (T2-Chemical fertilizers, T3- Farm Yard
Manure (FYM), T4-Vermicompost, T5 and T6- FYM supplemented with chemical fertilizers and
vermicompost supplemented with chemical fertilizer respectively).The treatment plots (T6)
showed 73% better yield of fruits than control, Besides, vermicompost supplemented with N.P.K
treated plots (T5) displayed better results with regard to fresh weight of leaves, dry weight of
leaves, dry weight of fruits, number of branches and number of fruits per plant from other fertilizers
treated plants.
Fioreze and Ceretta (2006) conducted a study in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil to determine the organic
sources of nutrients in potato production systems. The treatments include hen and hog residue and
mineral fertilizers. Results indicated that organic sources are economical and technical alternatives
to chemical fertilizers. However, their efficiency is maximized when coupled with chemical
fertilizers, mainly to maintain nitrogen supply along the crop cycle, especially in the case of using
hog residues. Hen residue is better than hog residue because it has higher amount of nutrients.
Singh and Kushwah (2006) was conducted a field experiment at Central Potato Research Station,
Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India, during the winter seasons (rabi) of 2001-02 and 2002-03 to study
the effect of organic and inorganic sources of nutrients on potato production. The treatments

7
included 25, 50, 75 and 100% doses of NPK with and without organic manures (farmyard manure
(FYM) and Nadep compost at 30 t/ha). Application of 100% NPK+30 t FYM/ha resulted in
significantly higher tuber yield of 456 q/ha compared with that of other treatments except 100%
NPK+30 t Nadep/ha and 75% NPK+30 t FYM/ha. The effect of organic manures (FYM and Nadep
compost) in combination with inorganic fertilizers was more pronounced compared with that of
organic manures alone. However, FYM was more effective than Nadep compost in producing
higher tuber yield. Maximum net return of Rs 63 627/ha was also obtained from 100% NPK+30 t
FYM/ha. However, benefit:cost ratio was almost same under 75% NPK with 30 t/ha FYM or
Nadep compost and 100% NPK with 30 t/ha FYM or Nadep compost.
Klikocka et al. (2006) were conducted two experiments in Poland. In experiment 1 (1996-2001),
the treatments consisted of: conventional soil tillage (ploughing at 20-cm depth, and pre-winter
ploughing at 25-cm depth), autumn ridge tillage (ploughing at 20-cm depth, and establishment of
20- to 25-cmdeep ridges with a furrow plough ridger), and spring ridge soil tillage (ploughing at
20-cm depth with planting of spring potato, and establishment of 25-cm-deep ridges with a
planting machine). For all treatments, cattle manure was applied at 30 t/ha. In experiment 2 (2001-
03), the treatments were: summer ridge soil tillage (plough skimming at 10-cm depth,
establishment of 25-cmdeep ridges, and sowing of white mustard or Sinapis alba as a catch crop),
autumn ridge soil tillage (plough skimming at 10-cm depth, sowing of white mustard, cultivation
at 15-cm depth, and establishment of ridges), and spring ridge soil tillage (plough skimming at 10-
cm depth, sowing of white mustard during the planting of spring potato, and establishment of 20-
to 25-cm-deep ridges with a planting machine). For all treatments, 5 t triticale straw/ha and 1.0 kg
N in the form of urea per 200 kg of straw were applied. Tillage with ridge establishment in the
autumn resulted in the highest total and commercial tuber yields. The tillage treatments had no
significant effects on the N content at the 0- to 25-cm soil layer. The formation of ridges in the
autumn reduced the N content at the 25- to 40-cm soil layer. The use of straw as fertilizer and
mulch, along with the planting of white mustard, reduced N leaching and prevented soil erosion.
El-Fakhrani (1999) conducted an experiment on the effects of N fertilizer (0, 300 or 600 kg/ha as
urea) and poultry manure (0 or 10 t/ha) on the performance of potato (cv. Monaliza) irrigated with
saline water (EC of 0.42, 1.56 or 2.85 dS/m). N application significantly increased shoot dry weight
per plant, and tuber fresh and dry weights over the control. N at 300 kg/ha resulted in the greatest

8
tuber volume (241.2 cm3), tuber fresh weight (257.9 g), tuber dry weight (48.8 g), and shoot dry
weight (9.02 g) per plant. Poultry manure at 10 t/ha enhanced tuber volume (224.4 cm3), tuber
fresh weight (239.9 g), tuber dry weight (45.2 g), and shoot dry weight (8.12 g) per plant. The
values of these parameters decreased with the increase in the salinity level. N at 300 kg/ha also
registered the greatest P (12.37 mg per plant) and K (652.9 mg per plant) uptake, and total
carbohydrate content (36.8 g per plant). Poultry manure also increased N (209.7 mg per plant), P
(13.47 mg per plant) and K (602.3 mg per plant) uptake, and total carbohydrate content (34.6 g per
plant). The interaction between 300 kg N and 10 t poultry manure/ha was optimum for all
parameters.
Kushwah, et al. (2005) was conducted an experiment during rabi 2004/05 on silty clay loam soil
at Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India to study the effect of farmyard manure (FYM), Nadep compost,
vermicompost and inorganic NPK fertilizers on yield and economics of potato. Application of
FYM, Nadep compost and vermicompost alone or in combination did not influence tuber yield
significantly. However, organic manures at 7.5 t/ha in combination with 50% recommended dose
of NPK significantly increased tuber yield. The highest tuber yield (321 q/ha) was recorded with
100% recommended dose of NPK fertilizers. The highest incremental benefit cost ratio (7.5) was
obtained with 50% recommended dose of NPK.
In an experiment, Gomes, et al. (1970) in Brazil found that the variety Floradel was slightly
superior to the other varieties, namely, Maca, Caqui and Manalucie as regards to yield and number
of fruits.
Ali and Siddique (1974) found that the plants of Oxheart variety were 190.8 cm in height and yield
26.6 t/ha. In the above study they observed that the plants took 23.1 DAT for flowering.
Norman (1974) carried out an experiment to observe the performance of 13 varieties of tomato in
Ghana. He found significant differences between cultivars in plant height, fruit maturity, yield and
quality. He also stated that in the dry season, ‘Floradel’, ‘Ace VF’, ‘Floralon’, ‘Piacenza 0164’,
‘Red colour’ and No. 1 were found to be high yielders and appeared promising.

all the plants. The highest individual fruit weight 77 gm was found in CLN3125-0-19 and New13
while the lowest individual fruit weight 33 gm was found in New 10.
The highest fruit locules 3.67 followed by CLN3125-0-19 whereas lowest fruit locules was 2.36
mm was found in New 10, AVTO1201 and CLN3150A5.
The highest fruit flesh thickness 0.4 mm followed by AVTO1201 and CLN3150A5 whereas lowest
fruit flesh thickness was 0.3 mm was found in New 10 and New13.
The maximum average individual brix percentage 4.9 was found in CLN3150A5, while the
minimum individual brix percentage 3.8 was found in New 10.
Significant different was found in terms of yield per plant. The maximum average yield per plant
(2.6 kg) was found in CLN3125-0-19 while the minimum average yield per plant (1.2 kg) was
found in AVTO 1201.
20.6 kg found in AVTO 1201 was recorded.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
6.1 Conclusion
In view of overall performances, it can be stated that, CLN3125-0-19 will be an effective profitable
and high yielding variety for Bangladesh and also AVTO1201 also most effective on growth. New
13 second highest yielding variety.
CLN3125-0-19 and AVTO1201 will be the potential for higher growth, best quality and high yield
of tomato production under organic condition.
6.2 Recommendation
From the experimental results and conclusion, the following recommendations are suggested:
 Under organic condition both plant and fruits grows in healthy way.
 Organic production reduce reliance on toxic and expensive pesticides that reduces pest and
insect.
 Organic production reduce the chance of soil depletion and it increase soil health and soil
organic matter.
However further investigation is necessary to reach the pin point of tomato production under
organic condition before final recommendation.
