The present investigation entitled effect of organic manure on yield of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) cv. Pusa Ruby was carried out during the year 2021-22 at Horticulture Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Chaudhary Charan Singh University Campus, Meerut (U.P.). The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications. The treatments involved in the study were seven in number, i.e., T1 (Control), T2 (FYM 24.0 t/ha), T3 (Vermicompost 6.0 t/ha), T4 (Poultry manure 2.0 t/ha), T5 (FYM 12.0 t/ha + Vermicompost 3.0 t/ha), T6 (FYM 12.0 t/ha + Poultry manure 1.0 t/ha), and T7 (Vermicompost 3.0 t/ha + Poultry manure 1.0 t/ha). The perusal of data investigation clearly indicates that combined application of Vermicompost 3.0 t/ha with Poultry manure 1.0 t/ha (T7) gave significant positive effect on yield parameters viz. maximum number of flowers per cluster (12.3), number of fruits per plant (42.07), length of fruit (8.97 cm), diameter of fruit (10.4 cm), yield q/ha (323 q/ha) as compared to other treatments.
