Abstract:
A pot experiment was conducted during the period of April 2017 to
October 2017. The research work was conducted at the Horticulture farm
of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka. The experiment
consisted of two factors. Factor A: Four levels of 4-CPA viz., H
:
Control, H
1
: 15 ppm, H
2
: 45 ppm, H
: 75 ppm and Factor B: four levels of
vermicompost i.e. VC
0
: Control, VC
3
1
: 500 g/pot, VC
2
: 1 kg/pot, VC
: 1.5
kg/pot respectively. The experiment was laid out in Completely
Randomized Design method with three replications. 4-CPA and
vermicompost showed significant variations with most of the parameters.
In case of 4-CPA the highest amount of yield (3.23 kg/plant) was
recorded from H
3
and lowest (2.37 kg/plant) from H
. For vermicompost,
the highest amount of yield (3.31 kg/plant) was from VC
0
and lowest
(2.34 kg/plant) from VC
. For combine effect the highest yield (3.66
kg/plant) was noted from H
0
3
VC
and the lowest (0.95 kg/plant) from
H
0
VC
0
3
. So, the use of 75 ppm 4-CPA with 1.5 kg vermicompost gave
best result for growth and yield of summer tomato.
