Effect of planting geometry and training methods on yield of cherry tomato grown under shade house

ASHIF KHAN PATHAN, J. C. MATHAD

Abstract


An experiment was carried out to study the effect of planting geometryand training methods on yield of cherry tomato variety HAT-121under 35 per cent shade house during kharif season of 2014-15 atHi-Tech Horticulture unit, University of agricultural Sciences,Dharwad. The experiment was comprised of three levels of spacingand four levels of training with factorial randomized block design.The experimental results revealed that maximum yield per cluster(131.02 g) and fruit yield per plant (3.50 kg) were recorded in widerspacing S3 (45 × 60 cm). The maximum yield per m2 (7.48 kg m-²)was observed in closer spacing S1 (45 × 30 cm). The maximum fruityield per plant (3.78 kg) and yield per m2 (7.49 kg m-²) were recordedin T4 (four stems). The maximum yield per cluster (145.20 g) wasexhibited by T1 (single stem) training system.
