A field experiment was carried out during the winter season of (2009-2010) to study the effect of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers on the growth, yield and quality of tomato var. Azad T-6 at the Horticultural Research Farm of the Department of Applied Plant Science (Horticulture), Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Lucknow. Three types of fertilizers (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium) in different combinations were tested in a Randomized Block Design with three replications. Tomato plants were fertilized with different rates of chemical fertilizers i.e. two doses of nitrogen fertilizers N1 and N2 (120 and 180 kg/ha), single dose of phosphorus P1 (80 kg/ha) and potassium K1 (75 kg/ha).The highest plant height, the maximum number of primary and secondary branches, number of flowers and fruits/plant as well as the greatest fruit size, fruit yield/plant and fruit yield/ha were obtained from the application of the recommended dose of nutrients viz., 120 kg N +80 kg P +75 kg K/ha. The results revealed that significantly the highest plant height higher yield and yield attributing characters were recorded with the application of 100% NPK i.e. 180 kg N/ha along with 80 kg P/ha and 75 kg K/ha.Keywords

The resent investigation was carried out in the DAPS (Horticulture), Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Lucknow for periodical evaluation of various physico-chemical parameters viz., length of fruits (cm), diameter of fruits (cm), size of fruits (cm), weight of fruits (kg), colour of skin/rind of fruit, weight of seeds/fruit, shape of fruits, colour of flesh, total soluble solid (TSS), acidity (percentage), compactness of fruits, aroma of fruits and taste of fruits. The genotypes of Snap melon i.e. Local-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 were designated as V1, V2,V3V4, V5,V6 V7, V8,V9 and V10, respectively during the investigation. In each treatment/genotype, two-ten fruits were randomly selected for recording the observations on various parameters. Genotype V5 had maximum fruit length (27 cm) whereas, V6 had highest fruit diameter (24cm), fruit size (600cm), weight (3kg), seeds weight (23kg), TSS content (50 Brix) and acidity content (6.8%). The minimum fruit length was recorded in genotypes V7 (12cm) whereas, minimum fruit diameter and fruit size was recorded in genotype V9 (8cm and 112 cm, respectively). The minimum fruit weight was recorded in V2 (0.90 kg). Minimum seed weight was recorded in genotype V2 (4.0 g). Lowest TSS was observed in V5 (40 Brix) while, minimum acidity in V5 (3.5%). Snap melon Local- 1, 2, 6, 8 and 9 were found compact in nature whereas, Local-3 and 10 were found less compact. Melon Local-1 and 8 had banana like aroma rather than snap melon Local-2 and 5 having light banana like aroma. The study evaluated that snap melon Local-1, 2, 8 and 10 have acidic taste whereas, snap melon Local-3, 4, 6 and 9 have sweet taste. Genotypes snap melon Local-5 and 7 found tasteless. The overall studied suggested that genotype V6 performed better for its bigger size fruits with good aroma and taste.Keywords

This experiment was held to study about the efficacy of concentration of plant bio regulators on vegetative growth, yield and quality characters of onion cv. NHRDF-RED-2 under Lucknow subtropical condition having dry climate and high pH soil (8.2). The experiment comprised of 13 treatments [Control (water spray), GA3 @ 50, 100 ppm, 150 ppm; NAA @ 50 ppm, 100 ppm, 150 ppm and combination of GA3 and NAA] laid out in the Randomized Block Design with three replications. The observations revealed that the application of T11 [GA3 @ 100 ppm + NAA @ 100 ppm] was better for improvement of growth i.e. plant height (76.50 cm), number of leaves (8.27), length of leaves (60.60) and basal diameter (2.05 cm) at 90 DAT. It also recorded the highest bulb yield (60.34 t/ha), fresh weight (90.51 g), dry weight (10.89 g), diameter (6.87 and 6.87 cm equatorial and polar, respectively) of onion bulb. Similarly, chemical properties like TSS (12.03° B) and pH (6.99) was found better under treatment T11 (GA3 @ 100 ppm + NAA @ 100 ppm) followed by T9 (GA3 @ 50 ppm + NAA @ 150 ppm). Thus, the study suggested that combined application of bio regulators (GA3 @ 100 ppm + NAA @ 100 ppm) may be followed to get better growth, yield and quality of onion cv. NHRDF-RED-2 under drier subtropical climate.Keywords
