When moisture conditions in soil are suitable, the husk tomato has good vegetative growth and high yield. The objective of this work was determine the minimum available moisture level to obtain the highest yield, and establish an irrigation calendar. Treatments evaluated were: 15%, 30%, 45%, and 60% of moisture reduction in soil, according to the gravimetric method, in a randomized complete-block design with four replications. The variance analysis and Duncan test were carried out at a 0.05 level of probability for following variables studied: Fresh fruit yield (kg/ha), plant height, root length, and fruit diameter. The results show that a 30% reduction moisture level was remarkable with a 28,610.67-kg/ha yield of fresh fruit. In relation to agronomics characteristics, the results show that, for plant height, root length, and fruit diameter were remarkable with the 15% and 60% reduction moisture, respectively. This was due to the greater interval of irrigation and tendency of root system to search for moisture. The greater vegetative growth and yield is with a moisture level of 65% to 80% present in soil, indicating that the husk tomato tolerates this 30% of reduction moisture, with higher values producing more stress in plants and modifying the vegetative growth and production.

Genetic variability is a measure of the variation in plant performance caused by genetic factors. if the variability of plant character is attributable to genetic roles then the variability will be inherited in the next generation. Heritability is a genetic parameter used to measure the ability of a genotype in plant population to transmit its character. Heritability in a broad sense is defined as the ratio between genotype variance and phenotype variance. This study aimed to estimate the values of genetic variability and heritability of growth and yield of 26 plant genotypes tomato. The experiment was conducted from August to December 2016 in Wirehouse, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Bengkulu. The design used in this study was Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with one factor which were 26 tomato genotypes and were repeated three times. Each plant was observed according to the variability and heritability guidelines for the observation variables. The results showed that the growth component of tomato plants that have wide genetic variability and high heritability of the broad sense was found in the characters of plant height, whereas the yield component were found on fruit diameter , crack fruit, and nonmarketable fruit. Selection of tomato plants should be directed to the characters of plant height, fruit diameter, the number of crack fruit, and non-marketable fruit. Akta

An experiment on effect of organic manure & mulching on the growth and yield of carrot was conducted at the farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka during the period from November 2017 to February 2018. The research consisted in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications under a factorial arrangement (of two factors), with Four levels of organic manure, as the factor A and four mulches such as factor B. Organic manure and mulching influenced significantly (p=0.05) all the studied variables. In case of organic manure the maximum plant height (44.55 cm) root length (14.73 cm), root diameter (4.11 cm), root weight (124.50 g), root yield (24.90 t/ha) and marketable root yield (23.85 ton/ha) were recorded from O2 (Vermicompost) treatment. In case of mulches, maximum plant height (44.81 cm), root length (15.20 cm), root diameter (3.91 cm), root weight (117.85 g), root yield (23.57 t/ha) and marketable root yield (21.95 t/ha) found in M2 (Black polythene) treatment. And the combined effect of the highest root yield (29.06 t/ha) was obtained from O2M2 (Vermicompost + black polythene) and lowest (13.20 t/ha) from O0M0 (control). So, it can be concluded that 10 ton/ha vermicompost with black polythene mulch was the best for carrot cultivation. The highest gross return (Tk. 563200), net return (Tk. 446355) and BCR (4.82) were obtained from the treatment combination from O2M2  where the lowest gross return (Tk. 207800), net return (Tk.112755)  were obtained from O0M0 and lowest BCR (1.67) from O1M0.
