Abstract
Interaction Effect of Seedling Age and Different Doses of GA3 on Growth and Yield of Tomato (Lycopersicon Esculentum Mill.)
Highlights
Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.), under the family Solanaceae is one of the important, popular and nutritious vegetable crop grown in Bangladesh during rabi season (Mondal et al, 2011)
The maximum plant height (50.87 cm) was recorded from treatment combination of G3S3 (30 days old seedling with GA3 application at 125 ppm), while the treatment combination of G0S1 (20 days old seedling with no GA3 application) gave the minimum (26.40 cm) plant height
The maximum fruit diameter (5.50 cm) was recorded from treatment combination of G3S3 (30 days old seedling with GA3 application at 125 ppm), while the treatment combination of G0S1 (20 days old seedling with no GA3 application) gave the minimum (4.00 cm) fruit diameter (Table 2)
Summary
Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.), under the family Solanaceae is one of the important, popular and nutritious vegetable crop grown in Bangladesh during rabi season (Mondal et al, 2011). It is cultivated in almost all home gardens and in the field due to its adaptability to wide range of soil and climate (Ahmed, 1976; Chopra et al, 2017). High temperature before and after the short winter season inhibits the flower and fruit development, use of plant growth regulators, viz.
