Effect of Seedlings Age on Growth, Yield Attributes and Yield of Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.)

Analysis of Integrated Nutrient Management as a performance enhancer in Mustard

“…A Significant difference can be observed in soil health by continuous use of INM practices on mustard crop which increases seed yield, oil, nutrient content and residual effect on succeeding crop, it has been observed clearly through the findings of (Mondal et al, 2015, Jaiswal et al, 2017 that the dose of fertilization was effectively reduced by the use of INM in mustard. Therefore, use of organic and inorganic fertilizers in a definite proportion was proved very profitable for farmers and we recommend 100% use of INM in mustard which is any way more beneficial for researchers, student's trial, farmers, soil, environment, ecology, other crops grown in surrounding areas, microorganisms in soil etc.…”

Effect of organic and chemical sources of nitrogen and seedling age at transplant on growth and yield of Kohlrabi

“…The yield potential of seedling age has been commercially exploited only in rice till date 10 and more diversity and replication of research are needed on vegetables to understand the physiology of seedling age in improving crop yield. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] This research was carried out to compare the yield potential of different nutrient sources when the amount of specific nutrient supplied is made constant. Seedling age being neglected topic in vegetables, this research attempts to explore the potential of seedling age on addressing issues of crop growth cycle.…”

Growth and productivity of tomato under use of biostimulant and ages of seedling transplantation

“…For length of the main stem, stem diameter, fruits number per plant, total fruit mass per plant and average of fruit mass at 78 DAT, there was no influence of the seedlings age nor of the Stimulate ® application and there was not interaction between seedlings age and Stimulate ® application on the analyzed variables (Table 4). The best age of tomato seedlings transplantation has been investigated in several studies because its importance to the proper adult plant formation (GOTO et al, 2010;JAISWAL et al, 2017). However, there is no consensus, since there are several factors to be taken into account, ranging from the impact of the seedling age on the plant's phytosanitary conditions, because it influences the degree of damage and exposure of its tissues during transplantation, what can facilitate infection by pathogenic microorganisms (THOMAS; UPRETI, 2014), to a root system that provides better tolerance to water availability of the cultivation environment (RODRIGUES et al, 2010).…”

“…For nurseries and farmers there is interest in reducing the seedling cost production and the cost and time between transplanting and production (GOTO et al, 2010;JAISWAL et al, 2017). Among the most diverse factors to be considered, one is essential in any analysis, which is whether the age of the seedling when transplanted interferes on fruit production (JANKAUSKIENƠ et al, 2013;JAISWAL et al, 2017). For this factor, the response is variable according to the environment and the genotype (SARKER et al, 2017).…”

“…It should be noted that tomato plants development and yield can be influenced by seedlings age when transplanted (JANKAUSKIENƠ et al, 2013;JAISWAL et al, 2017) but also could not be influenced (LESKOVAR et al, 1991). The genotype and conditions of the environment are conditioning factors for these effects (SARKER et al, 2017).…”
