abstract
The present investigation entitled “Influence of Organic Manure, Biochar and Biofertilizer on Soil Health Parameter and Yield Attributes of Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) was carried out during the Rabi season (April-August) 2023-2024 at the Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry Research Farm, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj. The findings it is concluded from trail that treatment T₉ - [NPK @ 100% + FYM @ 100% + Biochar @ 100%] was best in all soil health parameters. The maximum fruit yield was recorded as 71.44 qha^-1 in treatment T₉ - [RDF @ 100% + FYM @ 100 + Biochar @ 100%] and minimum 40.50 qha^-1 in T₁ - [Absolute control] respectivelywhich was higher than fruit yield any other treatment combination. Among the various treatments, treatment T₉ - [RDF @ 100% + FYM @ 100 + Biochar @ 100%] provided the highest net return of 113120 ha^-1 that excel other of the treatments. It provided additional net returns of ₹12,750.86ha^-1, over control. Treatment T₈ - [RDF @ 100% + FYM @ 100% + Biochar @ 50%] was observed as the next superior and best treatment by fetching the net returns of 1,00360 ha^-1. However, the control plot treatment showed lowest net returns of ₹49750 ha^-1. It is suggested that T₉ found most suitable for sustainable soil health parameters, Tomato to obtain higher yield and economic of the farmers, the trail was based on one season, so that the findings can be substantiate before recommendation.
