Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at the research field of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural
University, Dhaka during the period from September 2021 to April 2022 in Rabi
season to study the effect of sulphur, zinc and boron nutrients on growth and seed
yield of SAU Yellow Cherry tomato. The experiment was laid out in randomized
complete block design (RCBD) with three replications and consisted of ten treatments

. Experimental results revealed that different doses of sulphur, zinc and boron
fertilizers application significantly influenced the growth and seed yield of SAU
yellow cherry tomato. In case of different treatments, the height number of flowers
per cluster (62.91), number of flowers per plant (568.77), number of fruits per cluster
(77.11), total number of fruits per plant (499.44), individual fruit weight (12.51 g),
height fruit yield per plant (4.58 kg), fruit yield per plot (27.49 kg), fruit yield per
hectare (84.84 t), seeds per tomato fruit (98.22), seed yield per plant (19.12 g), seed
yield per plot (114.64 kg), seed yield per hectare (353.83 kg), seed germination (90.44
%) and vogority index (3014.20) were observed in T

whereas the corresponding lowest value were observed in T

was suggested that cultivation of cherry tomato through application of S

enhanced better seed yield production of SAU Yellow Cherry tomato.
