Abstract


Pot experiment conducted in four major soil groups of Tamil Nadu viz., Alluvial (Entisol), Black (Vertisol), Laterite (Ultisol), and Red (Alfisol) to study the effect of K and Zn on the yield of Tomato with three levels of K (0, 50 and 100 kg/K/ha) and Zn (0, 50 and 100 kg ZnSO4/ha) revealed that the application of 100 kg K20/ha and 50 kg ZnSO4/ha was found to be adequate for obtaining higher yield. The laterite soil registered the highest yield of tomato followed by black, alluvial and red soils.
