A field experiment was conducted during 2019-20 at AAU, Jorhat to evaluate the effect <strong>of</strong> the<br />

thermal environment on the yield <strong>of</strong> tomato variety Arka Rakshak. The variety was planted on<br />

four planting dates starting from 25 October at 15 days intervals and three mulching treatments<br />

(non-mulch, rice straw mulch, and black polythene) in the split-plot design. The soil<br />

temperatures were recorded daily in twelve plots during the 43 to 12 SMW at two soil depths<br />

<strong>of</strong> 5 cm and 10 cm. Agro-climatic indices viz., growing degree day, Day temperature, and heat<br />

use efficiency (HUE) were calculated following standard procedures. The occurrence <strong>of</strong> lower<br />

daily minimum temperature (
