Abstract

Layout was followed with control, IBA (50 ppm, 100 ppm and 150 ppm), cow urine and vermiwash (5%, 10% and 15%) as treatments which were replicated three times. Observations were taken at 15 and 30 days after planting (DAP). Maximum shoot growth at 15 DAP were observed for number of leaves at cow urine 10%, fresh weight of cutting at IBA 100 ppm, shoot length and shoot diameter at vermiwash 10%. Maximum shoot growth at 30DAPwere observed for number of leaves at IBA 150 ppm, fresh weight of cutting at IBA 100 ppm, shoot length and shoot diameter at vermiwash 10%. The majority of root parameters i.e., number of roots per cutting, length of root, fresh and dry weight of roots, root volume as well as survival percentage and chlorophyll content observed to be influenced by IBA 100 ppm. Tomato cuttings were propagated using various treatments but overall best result was seen with IBA treatments.

Conclusion

From the investigation of the above-mentioned research problem, we can conclude that tomato propagation can be done with side stem cutting. The best result for the highest survival percentage and root growth was obtained from treatment T3 (IBA 100 ppm), However, shoot growth responses can be observed for most of the treatment.
