Abstract

A field experiment was conducted to determine the effects of different organic fertilizers on the growth and yield of tomatoes at Khadbari-3, Maruwa, Sankhuwasabha from February 2023 to May 2023. The experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with five treatments (oil cake, bone meal, goat manure, pig manure, and control) and four replicates. The experimental results revealed that the highest yield was obtained from plots treated with oilcake (5.17 kg/plant), followed by bone meal (5.29 kg/plant) and pig manure (4.93 kg/plant). The minimum plant yield was obtained from the control plot (4.13 kg/plant), followed by goat manure (4.48 kg/plant). The maximum vegetative parameters, plant height (103.40 cm), number of branches (10), and number of leaves (55.60), were recorded in the plot treated with oil cake, and the corresponding minimum values, plant height (69.05 cm), number of branches (6.55), and number of leaves (41.70), were found in the control plot. The experiment suggests that the application of oil cake as a fertilizer increased tomato fruit yield.
