EFFECT OF GIBBERELLIC ACID AND SILICON ON MORPHOPHYSIOLOGICAL CHARACTERS AND YIELD OF DIFFERENT TOMATO VARIETIES

Abstract

The experiment was conducted at research field, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, 1 ii = BARI tomato 2, V = BARI tomato 14, V 2 = BARI tomato 15 and V 4 2 = BARI tomato 16; factor B 3 & Si) 0 = Control, G = 20 ppm GA , Si= 0.4 mM Silicon and GSi = 20 ppm GA + 0.4 mM Silicon. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design 3 + 0.4 mM Silicon performed the best one for most the cases. Among the sixteen combinations the highest yield GSi and the lowest yield( 1 H . From the present study it may be said that, BARI tomato 14 exhibited the best one for higher yield when treated with 20 ppm GA 3 TOMATO VARIETIES 0 + 0.4 mM Silicon under the climatic and edaphic condition of SAU.
