The investigation was carried out on Tomato ‘Abhilash’ at Agricultural Research Farm in the Department of Horticulture, School of Agriculture, Suresh Gyan Vihar University, Jaipur (Rajasthan) during rabi season of 2023-24 to study the “Effect of integrated nutrient management on growth and yield of tomato. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications and nine treatment combination of integrated nutrient management. The tomato was planted at 60 x 45 cm spacing in the month of October, 2023. All growth, yield, quality and economic parameter was found to be significantly superior at combination of 75% dose of RDF + 16.66 t/ha FYM + 8.33 t/ha Vermicompost as compare to control treatment. The maximum plant height at 45 DAT and at harvest (109.26 and 135.54 cm respectively), maximum number of branches per plant (13.70), maximum dry matter per plant (220.19 g), maximum number of fruits per plant (43.71), minimum days required for first picking (74.83 days), minimum days required for 50 percent flowering (36.31 days), maximum fruits weight (80.68 g), maximum fruits weight per plant (3.52 kg), maximum fruit yield per plot (98.74 kg), maximum fruit yield per ha.(953.15 q).
