Abstract:
An experiment was conducted in the Horticulture farm of Sher-e-Bangla
Agricultural University, Dhaka, during the period from September 2009
to March 2010, to find out the effect of organic manures and different
varieties on the growth and yield of tomato. The experiment consisted
with two factors. Factor A: Four types of organic manure such as OM0 =
Control, OM1= cowdung (30 t/ha), OM2 = poultry manure (25 t/ha) and
OM3 = vermicompost (20 t/ha). Factor B: Three varieties such as V1 =
BARI tomato 8, V2 = BARI tomato 3 and V3 = BARI tomato 2. The
experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD)
with three replications. For, organic manure OM2 gave the highest (94.22
t/ha) yield and lowest (25.63 t/ha) from OM0. For, variety V1 gave the
the highest yield (88.06 t/ha) and V3 gave the lowest (55.74 t/ha). For,
combined effect OM2V1 gave the highest (95.16 t/ha) and the lowest
(27.20 t/ha) from OM0V1. So, poultry manure with BARI Tomato 8 gave
the best performance.
