Abstract:
The field experiment was carried out at Research farm of Central Agricultural University, Imphal, Manipur, during Rabi seasons of 2016-17 and 2017-18, respectively to evaluation of the effect of boron on yield of tomato in acid soil. Results revealed in evident from both first and second year, boron showed effect on the yield and yield attributes of tomato. During experimentation, results reported that Soil application of boron at 2.0 kg B/ha (T₄) showed highest number of fruits plant ^-1 and maximum weight of fruits plant^-1 (27.60 in first year and 29.8 in second year), (1.39 kg in first year and 1.53 kg in second year) and yield ha^-1 (51.31t ha^-1 in first year and 56.7t ha^-1 in second year) respectively, over Boron control (T₁) plot. Hence, it was concluded that, the soil application of Boron at 2.0 B kg/ha effective among all the treatments in the experiment in Tomato under acid soil conditions during Rabi 2016-17 and 2017-18.
