Effect of integrated nutrient management on economics of tomato

Abstract

The present investigation titled “Impact of Integrated Nutrient Management on Economy of Tomato” was conducted at Horticultural Research cum Instructional Farm, IGKV, Raipur (C.G.) during Rabi season 2021-22 and 2022-23. The experiment was arranged in a randomized block with three replications and twelve treatments, i.e. T1: control, T2: 50% RDF, T3: 75% RDF, T4: 100% RDF, T5: 50% RDF + 50% FYM, T6: 50% RDF + 50% Vermicompost, T7: 50% RDF + 50% FYM + PSB, T8: 50% RDF + 50% Vermicompost + PSB, T9: 75% RDF + 25% FYM, T10: 75% RDF + 25% Vermicompost, T11: 75% RDF + 25% FYM + PSB and T12: 75% RDF + 25% Vermicompost + PSB. The result of this study showed that cost of cultivation (Rs. ha-1) was recorded maximum in 50% RDF + 50% Vermicompost + PSB treatment, gross profit (Rs. ha-1), net profit (Rs. ha-1) and benefit ratio: cost was recorded maximum in the treatment of 75% RDF + 25% Vermicompost + PSB.
