Abstract

                                A field experiment was conducted in a sandy loam soil at Agricultural Research Station farm, Bhavanisagar, Tamil Nadu, during August December 1999 to study the effect of biostimulants on yield and quality of tomato. Foliar sprays of different growth stimulants significantly influenced the yield and quality parameters of PKM 1 tomato. The highest yield response was obtained by foliar sprays of vipul 0.1 per cent EC (Triacontanol) at 300 ml ha' for three times at 25, 45 and 65 days after transplanting (36.0 t ha). Besides this, fruit quality parameters were improved by this treatment.

Key words : Plant growth regulators, Tomato, Vipul, Fruit quality, Triacontanol
