Abstract

The present study was carried out Studies on influence of different transplanting dates and different treatment combinations on growth yield and seed quality parameters in tomato (Solanum lycopersicon L.).In plant growth parameters (plant height (cm) and number of primary branches) of tomato crop the treatment combination D2T3 [5 th Dec-36 days old seedlings and captan + imidacloprid + cypermethrin combination] shown maximum performance in all the plant growth parameters and it was followed by D2T7 [5 th Dec-36 days old seedlings and Chlorpyriphos + mancozebcombination] and the least performance was given by D1T0 [25 th Nov-26 days old seedlings and control combination] while compared with the other treatment combinations.Among the days to 1 st flowering and days to 50% flowering the treatment combination D3T3 [15 th Dec-46 days old seedlings and captan + imidacloprid + cypermethrin combination] has shown minimum days to 1 st flowering and 50% flowering and it was followed by D3T7 [15 th Dec-46 days old seedlings and Chlorpyriphos + mancozebcombination] while the maximum days to 1 st floweringand 50% flowering was recorded in D2T0 [5 th Dec-36 days old seedlings and control combination].In yield parameters (number of clusters per plant, number of fruits per plant, fruit yield per plot (kg) and seed yield per plot (g)) of tomato crop the treatment combination D2T3 [5 th Dec-36 days old seedlings and captan + imidacloprid + cypermethrin combination] shown maximum performance in all the yield parameters and it was followed by D2T7 [5 th Dec-36 days old seedlings and Chlorpyriphos + mancozebcombination] and the least performance was given by D1T0 [25 th Nov-26 days old seedlings and control combination] while compared with the other treatment combinations.
