The experiment was conducted at Plasticulture Farm, College of Technology and Engineering, MPUAT, Udaipur, Rajasthan during May, 2018 to May, 2019 to observe the effect of different transplanting dates on growth and yield of tomato crop. Six different dates of transplanting viz. May 25, June 25, July 25, August 25, September 25 and October 25 were considered. The experiment was laid out in RBD with four replications. Early flowering (37.40 days) as well as earlyfruit harvesting (78.00 days) was occurred in August 25 transplanting, where astransplanting on May 25 resulted in delayed flowering (41.83 days) and fruit harvesting (83.00 days), respectively. Number of fruits per plant was also the highest (40.28) in August 25 transplanting and the lowest (31.75) was in October 25 transplanting. Individual fruit weight was higest in August 25 transplanting whereas lowest in May 25 transplanting. Transplanting on August 25 was found superior in respect of yield (119.11 tha-1) compared to other dates of transplanting.

The present investigation is aimed to determine the effects of cocopeat and vermicompost on growth and yield of cucumber. Three different fertigation levels, i.e. 120% RDF, 100%RDF and 80% RDF were used as main treatments with three combination of soilless medias, i.e. 100% cocopeat, 100% vermicompost and 50% cocopeat + 50% vermicompost were used as a sub main treatments and replicated thrice with split-plot design in the year 2019 and 2020 under naturally ventilated polyhouse conditions. The results showed that treatment combination 100% RDF and 50% cocopeat + 50% vermicompost led to be optimum crop performance and highest yield. Although the highest rate of fertilizer application showed the highest nutrient content, the growth rate of the plants was not optimum among all the treatment combinations. Incorporation of fertilizer into cocopeat and vermicompost soilless growing media contributed to the maintenance of nutrient availability during the growth period, while excessive use of fertilizer did not enable to increase the yield.
