Plants show physiological, morphological and chemical responses to microbial, physical or chemical factors which are known as elicitors. Water deficit stress is one of the most important abiotic stresses that affects plant physiological and morphological traits. Chitosan is a natural, less toxic and economical compound that is biodegradable and eco-friendly with various applications in agriculture. The present experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of pre-harvest foliar application of chitosan on quality indices of tomato plant under different water stress conditions. Tomato (Cv. Rio Grande) plants were subjected chitosan concentrations (0, 50, 100,150 mg L-1) and water stress intervals (3, 6, 9 and 12 days) after 15 days of transplantation. Tomato plants treated with 6 days water stress interval recorded maximum fruit firmness, fruit juice content, total soluble solids, titratable acidity and ascorbic acid content and minimum of fruit juice pH. Similarly, chitosan application @ 100 mg L-1 attained highest fruit firmness, percent juice content, total soluble solid, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid content and minimum fruit juice pH. It is concluded that 100 mg L-1 chitosan application along with 6 days water interval had positive impact on quality indices of tomato.

“…Significant variation was noted regarding the number of fruits per plant of tomato due to the application of different levels of micronutrients at 45 and 65 DAT ( Table 5). AT 45 DAT, the maximum number of fruit per plant (5.61) was observed from N 2 (Zn 4 B 2 kg/ha) and minimum number of fruits per plant (1.18) was observed from N 0 (0 kg/ha) treatment .At 65 DAT, the maximum number of fruits per plant (34.80) was observed from treatment N 2 .The minimum number of fruits per plant (17.68) was observed from treatment N 0 , Ejaz et al [32] reported the similar result. The number of fruits per plant of tomato varied significantly due to the application of different concentrations of organic manure at 45 and 65 DAT ( Table 5).…”

A field experiment was conducted at the Horticultural Farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka from October, 2017 to March, 2018 to study the effect of micronutrients in presence of different level of organic manure on growth and yield of tomato. There were four combinations of micronutrients viz. N 0 =0 kg Zn 0 kg B/ha, N 1 = Zn 2 kg B 1.5 kg/ha, N 2 =Zn 4 kg B 2 kg/ha, N 3 =Zn 6 kg B 2.5 kg/ha and four organic manure viz M 0 =0 ton/ha, M 1 =Cowdung (15 ton/ha), M 2 =Poultry manure (10 ton/ha), M 3 =(Cowdung 7.5 ton/ha+ Poultry manure 5 ton/ha). The Afsun et al.; AJAHR, 4(2): 1-13, 2019; Article no.AJAHR.50434 2 experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with 3 replications and there were altogether 48 plots. Application of micronutrients and organic manure significantly influenced the growth, yield and size of the tomato. The highest yield (66.96 t/ha) was found from treatments N 2 and the lowest yield (25.69 t/ha) was obtained from treatment N 0 . Due to the application of organic manure, the highest yield (50.78 t/ha) was obtained from M 3 and the lowest yield (39.86 t/ha) was recorded from M 0 . In the case of combined effect, the highest yield (76.33 t/ha) was found from treatment N 2 M 3 and the lowest yield (24.60 t/ha) was found from treatment N 0 M 0 . So, the application of Zn 4 kg B 2 kg/ha along with Cowdung 7.5 ton+Poultry manure 5 ton/ha was the best for growth and yield of tomato. Economic analysis raveled that N 2 M 3 gave the maximum benefit-cost ratio (3.2). So, the application of Zn 4 kg B 2 kg/ha along with Cowdung 7.5 ton+Poultry manure 5 ton/ha was the best for growth and yield of tomato. Original Research Article

The yield and quality of tomato largely depend on soil and climatic conditions and also on variety. Plant growth regulators function as chemical messengers for intercellular communication. In tomato, different growth regulators and zinc play a pivotal role in germination, root development, branching, flower initiation, fruiting, lycopene development, synchronization and early maturation, parthenocarpic fruit development, ripening, TSS, acidity, seed production etcetera. The field experiment was conducted at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University Farm, Dhaka, Bangladesh Islam et al.; IJPSS, 32(1): 1-9, 2020; Article no.IJPSS.54344 2 during October 2017 to April, 2018 to evaluate the effect of foliar application of IBA, GA3 and Zn on yield and quality of tomato [1]. Single variety BARI Tomato-14 and foliar application of IBA 5 ml/L, GA3 5 ml/l and Zn were used to conduct this experiment. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) having three factors and replicated three times. Data were collected on chlorophyll content of leaf, number of flowers cluster per pant, number of fruit per plant, yield per hectare, Vitamin-C content and TSS% content. A statistically significant variation was recorded in terms of the above characters about yield and quality of tomato. All the characters shows maximum result in treatment of T 7 (IBA+GA3+Zn).The treatment combination of T 7 (IBA 5 ml / L, GA3 5 ml / L and Zn 1 kg/ha) and T 4 (IBA 5 ml / L, GA3 5 ml / L) gave the maximum yield (100.00 t/ha) and the minimum yield (39.75 t/ha) was found from the treatment combination on T 0 (control). The highest Vitamin C content (113.10 mg/100 gm) and highest TSS (%) (7.000) were found from T 7 (IBA 5 ml / L, GA3 5 ml / L and Zn 1 kg/ha) than that of control under present experiment. So, it can be concluded that treatment combination of T 7 (IBA 5 ml / L, GA3 5 ml / L and Zn 1 kg/ha) is the best for yield and quality of tomato and can be tested further under different field conditions.
