International Conference on Reimagining Rainfed Agro-ecosystems: Challenges & Opportunities<br />

consumers particularly in metro and big cities. Among vegetable crops tomato (Lycopersicon<br />

esculantum L.) is important crop grown throughout the year which gives high yield within a<br />

relatively short period and it is economically attractive. In India tomato occupied 76 thousand ha<br />

with a production 18.39 Mt. In Maharashtra, tomato is a highly demanded vegetable in addition<br />

to it being a rainfed crop in kharif season. Using organic fertilizers especially in composted form<br />

had positive effect on soil health and fertility, which consequents increased yield in long term<br />

(Mehdizadeh,2013), increased cation exchange capacity <strong>of</strong> soil and increase availability <strong>of</strong> some<br />

nutrients such Ca, Mg, and P (Abou-Hussein et al.,2002). In this context an experiment was<br />

conducted to study the effect <strong>of</strong> various organic sources <strong>of</strong> nutrients on growth and yield <strong>of</strong><br />

tomato and the economics <strong>of</strong> various treatments.<br />

Methodology<br />

An experiment was conducted at Organic Farming Research and Training centre, Vasantrao Naik<br />

Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth Parbhani, during kharif 2018-2019. Eleven treatments with three<br />

replications were tested in RBD design. The tomato transplants were cultivated in the plot area <strong>of</strong><br />

6.0 x 5.4 m as gross and 4.2 m x 4.8 m as net plot. The variety PKM -1 was transplanted on 12 th<br />

July, 2018 with recommended management practices as per various treatments.<br />

Results<br />

The data on tomato yield, monetary returns, B:C ratio as influenced by different treatments is<br />
