Nitrogen Levels on Morphological and Yield Response of BARI Tomato - 9

Effect of Different Level of Nitrogen Fertilizer on Growth, Yield and Yield Component of Tomato (<i>Lycopersicon Esculentum Mill</i>.) at West Showa Zone, Oromia, Ethiopia

“…The analysis of the result demonstrated that, the various doses of nitrogen fertilizer showed non-significant on number of fruits per cluster of tomato even if the mean values were different from each other. This result was disagreed with the result revealed by Biswas et al [16] who reported significant difference among nitrogen fertilizer levels in number of fruits per cluster but on different cultivar (BARI Tomato-9). This could be due to different variety of tomato responds differently to level of nitrogen fertilizer regarding number of fruit per clusters.…”

“…However, there was no significant difference between 0 and 50 kg N/ha in influencing the height of tomato. This result was in agreement with the result obtained by Biswas et al [16] who revealed that the tallest plant was obtained by applying 150 kg N/ha. This study also in line with the study conducted by Najafvand et al [17] who reported that as the amount of nitrogen fertilizer increased the height of tomato also increased.…”

“…This result revealed the gradual increase in yield of tomato with the rate of nitrogen fertilizer up to optimum level. This study was in line with the finding of Biswas et al [16] who reported highest fruit yield from the plot treated with 150 kg N /ha. Application of 150 and 100 kg N/ha increased yield of tomato by 70.79 and 70.27%, respectively, compared to the control treatment.…”

“…This result was in line with the result obtained by Iqbal et al [21]. Biswas et al [16] also reported highest number of cluster per plant of tomato from the plot treated by 150 kg N/ha.…”

“…The highest leaf number per plant was recorded from the plot treated with 150 kg N/ha (42.73) (table 1). Biswas et al [16] also reported the heights number of leaves per plant of tomato from the plot treated by 150 kg N/ha. However, application of 100 kg N/ha was at par with 150 kg N/ha on influencing number of leaves per plants and also using 50 kg N/ha also not different from using 0 kg N/ha on number of leaves per plant.…”
