STUDIES ON THE EFFECT OF N, K AND CaCl2 ON FRUIT CRACKING, SKIN THICKNESS AND DENSITY OF TOMATO

Abstract

Field experiment conducted during kharif season to study the effect of N (0, 40, 80, 120 & 160 kg/ha) K (0.50 and 100 kg K20/ha and CaCl2 sprays (0.0% & 0.5%) on fruit cracking, skin thickness and density of fruits of tomatoes (Co.I and Co,3) grown in yertisol indicated that 0.5 per cent CaCl2 sprays significantly decreased the fruit cracking. The interaction due to the levels of N, K and CaCl2 sprays had marked effect on the skin thickness. The interactions of N x K and Nx Var had significant influence on the density of fruits.
