Abstract
The present investigation entitled “Effect of different levels of nitrogen and phosphorus on growth and yield of Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)” Variety Pusa ruby was carried out. The experimental material consisted 12 treatments replication thrice. The experiment was conducted at the Research farm of the School of Agriculture Science, Technology Research, Sardar Patel University, Balaghat (M.P.). The sowing of experimental material was shown transplanted in the main field on 05 December 2023 with Randomized Block Design (RBD) and was statistically analyzed. The data were recorded on five randomly selected plants. The overall results obtained from this present investigation revealed that the application of T11 (Nitrogen @120kg/ha+ Phosphorus @80 kg/ha) showed the better performance for vegetative growth (plant height, flowering of plant, number of fruits per plant), yield attributes [number of fruit per plant, fruit yield per plant (kg), fruit yield per plot (kg), fruit yield per hectare (g), of tomato except be useful to enhance the productivity.
