QUALITY PARAMETERS OF TOMATO AS INFLUENCED BY MICRONUTRIENTS AND BIO-FERTILIZERS
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 36
Abstract
Maximum Vitamin ‘C’ content, total soluble solids shelf life of fruits and minimum cracking percentage was noticed under T7 (mixture of all micronutrients) amongst treatments of micronutrients. Variations in vitamin ‘C’ content and cracking percentage were non-significant due to bio-fertilizers. However highest total soluble solids were noted for T8 (Azotobacter @ 1 kg/ha as seedling treatment) whereas T10 (Azotobacter + Azospirillum @ 1 kg/ha each as seedling treatment) recorded the highest shelf life of fruits amongst treatments of bio-fertilizers. Treatments had no effect on fruit colour, fruit shape and stem end colour.
