Abstract:
An experiment was conducted at Horticulture Farm of Sher-e-Bangla
Agricultural University during the period of October 2016 to March 2017 to
evaluate the growth and yield of tomato as influenced by GA
and boron. The
experiment was laid out in the Randomized Complete Block Design with three
replications. Treatment as four levels of GA
3
, viz. G
0
3
: Control, G
:
100 ppm, G
3
: 120 ppm; and two levels of boron, viz. B
0
1
: 80 ppm, G
: Control, B
: 5 kg
boron ha
-1
. Result indicated that the highest values of vegetative growth i.e.
plant height and number of branches per plant and reproductive growth and
development i.e. number of cluster plant
-1
, number of fruit plant
, fruit length,
fruit girth, individual fruit weight, fruit weight plant
-1
attributed the highest
yield for the treatment G
2
(68.41 t ha
-1
) and B
1
-1
treatments (67.64 t ha
). For
combined application, G
2
B
gave the best result for all vegetative and
reproductive growth and development. From this experiment it can be
concluded that 100 ppm GA
1
3
with 5 kg Boron ha
-1
treatment combination is
suitable dose for higher yield of tomato.
