Effect of nursery raising practices of seedlings and phosphatic fertilizer management in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) crop on growth and yield
The raised bed seedlings produced significantly higher fruit yield of 20.4% (71.147 tonnes/ha) than the tomato grown from pro-tray seedlings (59.361 tonnes/ha). Banding of superphosphate along with other fertilizers at 5cm depth showed significantly higher yield, dry matter production, P content as...

| Summary: | The raised bed seedlings produced significantly higher fruit yield of 20.4% (71.147 tonnes/ha) than the tomato grown from pro-tray seedlings (59.361 tonnes/ha). Banding of superphosphate along with other fertilizers at 5cm depth showed significantly higher yield, dry matter production, P content as well as P uptake. The fruit yield and dry matter obtained were the highest at 80% recommended P dose. In the tomato grown from raised bed seedlings, 82.706 tonnes/ ha fruit yield was obtained that was 49.3% higher than 55.383 tonnes/ha of tomato grown from pro-tray seedlings when 80% P dose was banded at 5cm depth.
