The present investigation has been planned to assess the effects of various fertilizer treatment on growth and yield of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) by conducting field experiment through five treatments. Experimental plot size was 2 m x 1 m prepared in five treatments and three replications where T5 was kept as control and four other treatments were T1-vermicompost @ 0.9 kg/plot (@ 0.45 kg/sq.m), T2-NADEP compost @ 1.25 kg/plot (@ 0.625 kg/sq.m), T3-pit compost @ 1.25 kg/plot (@ 0.625 kg/sq. m) and T4-chemical fertilizer (300:150:150 - N: P2O5: K2O). Morphological parameters were measured after 90th days when fruits are matuared. At the time of harvesting (on 90th day) all crops were selected from each unit for recording biometric observations. Maximum plant height (84.41cm/plant) was recorded for the tomato plants for the treatment with NADEP organic fertilizer @ 1.25 kg/plot (@ 0.625 kg/sq. m) and the lowest plant height (63.53cm/plant) was noted for tomato plants treated with pit compost @ 1.25 kg/plot (@ 0.625 kg/sq. m). The maximum fruit yield of Tomato crop (Kg/plot) was recorded with chemical fertilizer treatment (T4) then followed by vermicompost, control, NADEP compost and pit compost treatment respectively.
