Analysis of Organic and Inorganic fertilizers on growth and yield of tomato in district Amritsar

The current research work titled "Analysis of Organic and Inorganic Fertilizers on Growth and Yield of Tomato in Amritsar" was undertaken to determine the comparative efficacy of organic and inorganic nutrient sources on the performance of the tomato crop. The experiment was designed to compare their impact on vegetative growth, flowering, fruit set, yield, and quality parameters. Organic sources like farmyard manure, vermin compost, and bio-fertilizers were contrasted with inorganic sources like urea, DAP, and NPK formulations under field conditions in Amritsar. Results showed that inorganic fertilizers increased early vegetative growth and fruit yield considerably as a result of available nutrients, whereas organic fertilizers enhanced soil structure, microbial population, and fruit quality. The combined application of organic and inorganic sources registered better performance regarding balanced growth, yield continuity, and soil health enhancement. The research concludes that an integrated nutrient management strategy is better suited for enhancing higher productivity and ensuring long-term sustainability of tomato farming in Amritsar.
