Efficacy of Trichocompost on the Growth and Yield of Tomato

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted to investigate the efficacy of Trichocompost utilizing Trichoderma as biological agent. Three doses of Trichocompost viz. 500g/m 2, 750g/m 2, 1000g/m 2 were applied including untreated control treatment. All the yield parameters were significantly higher when they were applied in different doses of Trichocompost. However, growth parameters did not show significant variation although luxuriant and lavish growth was noticed. Best performances were recorded by applying Trichocompost application @1000g/m 2. Economic analysis of the treatments indicates that Trichocompost is profitable for farmers. Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) was maximum (2.26) in Trichocompost treated plot @1000g/m 2. It can be revealed that Trichocompost can be applied in the field for better tomato production.
