Abstract
An experiment was conducted
in the Horticultural Farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University,
Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka during October 2015 to March 2016 to find out the productivity and profitability of tomato as influenced
by micronutrients. This was a single factor experiment and consisted of
11 treatments which were the combination of different doses of micronutrients: T0:
( Zn0 B0 Cu0 kg ha-1), T1:
(Zn0 B4 Cu2 kg ha-1), T2:
(Zn4 B4 Cu2 kg ha-1), T3:
(Zn6 B4 Cu2 kg ha-1), T4:
(Zn8 B4 Cu2 kg ha-1), T5:
(Zn8 B0 Cu2 kg ha-1), T6:
(Zn6 B2 Cu0 kg ha-1), T7:
(Zn6 B6 Cu2 kg ha-1), T8:
(Zn6 B4 Cu0 kg ha-1), T9:
(Zn6 B4 Cu1 kg ha-1 ) and T10:
(Zn6 B4 Cu3 kg ha-1). Recommended
doses of cowdung, Urea, TSP and MP were also used as basal dose. The experiment
was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with 3 replications. Maximum
yield hectare-1 (96.00 t/ha), were recorded from the T3 treatment
while the minimum values of all observation were recorded from the T0
that is control treatment. Calculating economic point of view, the treatment T3
gave the highest economic return (Tk. 674944 ha-1)
with 2.37 benefit cost ratio.
Key word: Tomato,
Micronutrient, Productivity and Profitability
