| dc.description.abstract | This study on improving yield of tomato using different nutrient and pesticide management was conducted with the following objectives;(1) to determine the best nutrient and pesticide management combination in rpoducing off season tomatoes; and (2) to determine the cost and return analysis of producing marketable tomatoes using the different nutrient and pesticide combination during off season. This study was laid out following Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) using four treatments in three replications. The following were the significant findings of the study; T2- (FP and CP) and T3- (Rp and EF) were comparable in terms of number of marketable fruit per plant, weight of marketable fruit per plant (kg), actual yield per plot (kg), computed yield per hectare. Treatment 3- RP and EF) was significant in terms in non-marketable fruit per plant, weight of non-marketable fruit per plant (kg), days to flowering and days to fruit set. Results of the study showed that application of T2- (FP and CP) obtained the highest yield but has the highest expenses however, T3- (RP and EF) was the best treatment for improving eating quality of tomato and enhance the plant resistance to pest and diseases. T3- (RP and EF) technology is safer for human consumption and environment because it does not use synthetic or petroleum based insecticides. | |
