Tomato Genotypes

A field experiment was carried out at the Regional Horticultural Research Station, Lebukhali, Patuakhali, during the winter. The experiment was conducted to find out adaptive tomato genotypes suitable for coastal Patuakhali region considering their growth and yield performance. The genotypes of this experiment showed significant influence independently on different parameters of tomato plant. The maximum plant height (86.80 cm) was found in BARI tomato-3. The maximum primary (2.55), secondary (9.55) and tertiary branch (4.48) were obtained from BARI tomato-14. The maximum number of leaves (34.93) obtained from BARI tomato-14. The highest length of largest leaves (35.87 mm) was recorded in BARI tomato-3. The maximum number of flower clusters plant-1 (19.47), number of flowers cluster-1 (6.62), number of fruit cluster-1 (4.84), number of flowers plant-1 (126.3), number of fruits plant-1 (88.0), minimum date for 50% flowering(53.33), highest percentage of fruit setting (76.27), minimum days to first harvest (101.7) were obtained from BARI tomato-14. Moreover, BARI tomato-14 also performed better in respect of yield (3.51 kg/plant and 124.8 t/ha). It may therefore concluded that the genotype BARI tomato-14 showed better growth and yield performance under the coastal condition and suitable for Patuakhali region.Progressive Agriculture 28 (2): 84-91, 2017

An experiment was carried out at the research farm of Patuakhali Science and Technology University (PSTU) during the period from November 2010 to April 2011 to study on growth and yield performance of cowpea (BARI Falon-1 and local Falon) with different concentration of GA3 (control, 25.00, 33.33, 50.00 and 100.00 ppm) to find out the suitable variety and optimum level of  gibberelic acid (GA3) application which would be also suitable to cultivate under coastal region of Patuakhali. Among the treatments, GA3 at 33.33 ppm treated plant of BARI Falon–1 showed the better performance on growth and yield contributing characters. As a result, the tallest plant (62.53 cm), number of leaves and branches plant–1 (28.67 and 20.07, respectively), TDM (83.99 g), CGR (1.68 cm2 day-1), RGR (0.729 cm2 day-1) and NAR (1.275 cm2 day-1) were exhibited from the variety BARI Falon-1 with the spraying of GA3 at 33.33 ppm at harvest. Yield contributing characters had also higher such as pods plant–1 (11.67), length of pod (17.20 cm), seeds pod–1 (16.80), 100-seed weight (12.49 g), seed yield (20.16 g plant-1 and 3139.93 kg ha-1) and harvest index (24.04%) with the variety BARI Falon–1 whily it was treated by 33.33 ppm GA3. Hence, it can be concluded that the application of GA3 up to 33.33 ppm than other GA3 levels and BARI Falon-1 than Local Falon would be the most suitable for obtaining the greater yield of cowpea under the coastal area of Patuakhali region. So, considering the above observation, BARI Falon-1 therefore is suggested to cultivate in Patuakhali region while 33.33 ppm GA3 would be also optimum level for the better prodcution of cowpea.Progressive Agriculture 27 (2): 94-100, 2016

Field experiments was conducted during the 2015 rainy season at Teaching and Research Farm of Department of Crop Science, Taraba State College of Agriculture Jalingo, to investigate the effect of Nitrogen rates on the growth and yield of Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranean (L.) Verdc) in Jalingo. The experiments was laid out in split-plot design with three replications and three nitrogen rates, 20kgNha-1, 25kgNha-1 and 30kgNha-1 as main plot treatment while four intra-row spacing, 20cm, 25cm, 30cm and 35cm as the sub plot treatment. The sub plot size was 3m x 2m (6m2). The nitrogen rate doses were applied a week after emergence of the seedlings. Data collected were, percentage seedlings emergence, number of leaves per plant, number of branches per plant, plant height, number of nodules per plant, number of effective nodules per plant, number of non-effective nodules per plant, days to 50% flowering, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per plant, 100 seeds weight, grain yield per plot and grain yield per ha-1. Data collected were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), means were separated using Least Significant Difference (LSD). The results showed that nitrogen rate applied had no significant influence on growth and yield characters. However, significant influence was recorded of intra-row spacing on number of leaves per plant and number of branches per plant at 6WAS with a mean value of 48.24 and 16.80 respectively. Intra-row spacing, 25cm gave the highest mean number (3.14) of non-effective nodules per plant at 30 DAS while 25cm gave the highest number of days to 50% flowering. The result of the interaction revealed that there were significant interaction between Nitrogen rates and intra-row spacing on the number of leaves at 3 WAS and 6WAS. It is recommended that nitrogen rate of 20kgNha-1 and intra-row spacing of 35cm be adopted for Bambara groundnut in Jalingo.

Hitherto, there is scarcity of information on the usefulness of neglected small corms and cormels of cocoyam in the South West Nigeria. A 9 (nine) months trial was conducted to compare the growth and yield performance of different types of cocoyam planting materials with treatment consisting of T1; sprouted small cocoyam cormels, T2, trimmed out lower parts of harvested cocoyam corm and T3; moderate sized corm of 50-100g (control) arranged in a Randomised Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replicates. Data on the number of leaves and plant height was taking at 4 week interval for 24 weeks while data on number and weight of harvested cormels was taking at 9 months after planting (MAP). The data collected were subjected to a univariate General Linear Model (GLM) two ways Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) using IBM SPSS software statistical package 21. Significance mean differences were separated using Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at 0.05 level of significance. The result showed that the highest mean number of leaves and plant height was obtained from treatment T1 (10.22) and T2 (92.83) respectively at 24 weeks after planting (WAP). While both treatment T1 and T3 collectively had the highest number of consumable cormels (54.0) in which treatment T3 weighed the highest (3.202 kg). There was no significant difference (P>0.05) in both the number of leaves produced and plant height among the different cocoyam planting materials utilised at 24 (WAP). Similarly, there was no significant difference (P>0.05) in the number and weight of cormels produced by the different treatments at 9 months after planting (MAP). The study therefore concluded that both sprouted small cocoyam cormels, trimmed out corms during planting compared favourably with moderate sized corm of weight 50-100g commonly used as planting material in term of yield potential and therefore recommended to be schedule for demonstration to cocoyam farmers in the study area for adoption.

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the performance of hybrid tomato lines on growth and yield performance at Regional Agriculture research Station (RARS), Parwanipur, Nepal during end of September, 2018 to April, 2019. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with seven hybrid tomato lines as treatments and three replications. The tested lines included Srijana and Dalila as check varieties and other lines, developed by crossing HRA and HRD lines which showed better performance under late blight conditions. HRA 20× HRD 1 showed significantly higher plant height (110.67 cm) which was statistically at par with genotype HRA 14× HRD 7. The highest number of fruits per plant (69) was recorded from Srijana whereas the lowest number of fruits per plant (37) was recorded from cv. HRA20 × HRD1. The fruit yield of the lines ranged from 50.54 t/ha to 32.2 t/ha with Srijana having the highest yield and HRA 20× HRD 1 as the lowest. Similar results were shown regarding the marketable fruit yield. However, the highest individual fruit weight (34.67g) was recorded in HRA 14× HRD 7 and the least fruit weight was recorded in Srijana (24.22 g). Results showed that the maximum TSS (5.53 0Brix) was recorded from Dalila which was similar as Srijana. Hence, the overall performance of Srijana was recorded superior regarding both quantitative and qualitative suggesting Srijana as the recommended variety in the given domain. Here authors concluded that Srijana is still a comparatively better hybrid variety in Nepal.

A field experiment was carried out at Horticultural Research Station, Rajikot, Jumla to determine the best grafting date of walnut for the highest graft-take success and sapling growth. The experiment was conducted during the two consecutive years 2017, and 2018. Two varieties namely ‘Hartley’ and ‘Payne’ and four different dates of grafting viz. 15th March, 22nd March, 29th March, and 5th April were used as the treatment and the experiment was laid out in split-plot design. Each treatment was assigned with ten grafts with five replications per treatment. The measured parameters for the experiments included graft-take success (%), final scion diameter (cm), growth on scion diameter (%), number of primary branches per plant, plant spread (cm), and number of leaf per plant. The pooled value of observation for two years showed highly significant effect of variety and grafting date on grafting-take. ‘Hartley’ variety showed maximum graft-take success (73.2%) and ‘Payne’ with the least success (54.0%). The pooled value of two successive years showed the highest graft-take success (70.0%) on 15th of March, significantly at par with 22nd March (64.5%) and 29th March (67.0 %) grafting. Grafting on 15th March was also superior in terms of number of leaves (31.7), and least was observed for grafting on 29th March (20.5). In essence, variety ‘Hartley’ was found to record higher graft-take success with 15th March as the optimum grafting date under Jumla condition.

Tomato is one of the major vegetable crops inNepal. The productivity of tomato in Nepal is very low due to lack of high yielding, disease and pests resistant varieties.The objective of the experiement was to evaluate the  performance of open pollinated tomato genotypes. Ten open pollinated tomato genotypes were evaluated at on-station research field of Regional Agricultural Research Station, Parwanipur, Bara in the winter seasons of 2015 and 2017, and seven tomato genotypes were evaluated at farmers’ fields of Bara and Parsa districts, Nepal in the winter seasons of 2017 and 2018.The experiments were carried out in randomized complete block design with three replications. Results of the on-station experiments showed that HRDTOM084 produced the highest yield (29.1 t/ha in 2015 and 28.5 t/ha in 2017)  and showed consistant performance over the two seasons. It was the superior genotype in terms of yield and yield attributing traits. Tomato genotypes HRDTOM011, HRD109, HRDTOM080 and HRDTOM086 were found vigorous with a score value 5  in 1 to 5 rating scale. The results of the farmers’ field experiment showed that the tomato genotypes HRDTOM084 and HRDTOM085 were found more productive and high yielding compared to other genotypes. The highest yield was produced in HRDTOM084 with a mean of two season yield 49.85 t/ha followed by HRDTOM085 with a mean of two season yield 47.42 t/ha).These genotypes showed moderate resistance to late blight and septoria leaf spot with a score value of 2.3 in 1-5 rating scale. Therefore, HRDTOM084 and HRDTOM085 were the most productive and gave higher yield compared to others.  Hence, these two tomato genotypes can be used by tomato growers under field conditions in Terai region of Nepal.

An experiment was carried out at the research farm of Patuakhali Science and Technology University (PSTU) during the period from November 2010 to April 2011 to study on growth and yield performance of cowpea cv. BARI Falon-1 under different treatment of GA3 as foliar spray to investigate the responses and most optimum level of gibberelic acid regarding growth and yield of Falon that are suitable to cultivate in coastal region of Bangladesh. Among the GA3 treatments, 33.33 ppm GA3 produced significantly the tallest plant (61.07 cm), maximum leaves and branches plant–1 (28.50 and 19.73, respectively), higher LAI (1.10) and higher TDM plant–1 (81.95 g) comparatively than that of other GA3 levels while control had lower on the above characters. Growth characters such as CGR, RGR and NAR had also higher (0.99 and 1.65 gm–2 day-1 for CGR, 0.43 and 0.72 gm–2 day–1 for RGR and 0.027 and 1.275 mg cm2 day–1 for NAR) in 33.33 ppm GA3 at the stage between 30 to 60 DAS and 60 to 90 DAS, respectively Yield contributing characters Among other observation of yield and yield contributing characters, 33.33 ppm GA3 further registered the maximum pods plant–1 (11.50), longest pod (17.05 cm), higher weight fresh (3.78 g) and dry pod (1.99 g), higher weight of 100–seed (12.25), seed yield (18.57 g plant–1 and 2986.72 kg ha–1) and higher HI (22.45%). These results also showed that GA3 up to 33.33 ppm signifciantly developmend morpho–physiological, growth, yield and yield contributing characters and thereafter all the data decreased due to its destructive effect of higher GA3 levels. So, considering the above observation it could be suggested that GA3 @ 33.3 ppm would be appropriate doses of GA3 for obtaining the better produciton of BARI Falon-1 under resion.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jesnr.v7i2.22196 J.

Heat stress is one of the production constraints for tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) due to unfavorable, above optimum temperatures. This research was undertaken to evaluate growth and fruit yield of tomato genotypes under three contrasting growing conditions (i.e., optimal temperature in field-, high temperature in field- and high temperature in greenhouse conditions) to determine their relative heat tolerance. Eleven tomato genotypes, including two local check varieties, were evaluated, and data on growth and yield were measured and analyzed. The interactions between the genotypes and growing conditions for all yield traits were significant. In general, the performance of tomato under optimal temperature field conditions was better than under high temperature field- and greenhouse conditions. Genotypes CLN1621L, CLN2026D, CLN3212C, and KK1 had consistently greater fruit yield per plant in all growing conditions. Although the local genotype, Neang Tamm, had lower yield under optimal conditions, it performed moderately well under high temperature field- and high temperature greenhouse conditions, and yield decrease under high temperature condition was minimal. Genotype CLN1621L had stable fruit setting compared to other genotypes under high temperature conditions. Since fruit setting and yield are important traits for heat tolerance, genotypes CLN1621L and Neang Tamm are potential candidates for breeding programs focused on improved yield and heat stress tolerance.
