An experiment was carried out at Hi-tech Unit, Department of Horticulture, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, MPUAT, Udaipur during two consecutive years 2017 and 2018, to assess the effect of various organic manures, chemical fertilizers and biofertilizers of growth and its attributes of tomato under naturally ventilated polyhouse. The experiment was laid out in completely randomized design with eight treatment combinations replicated four times. Treatment T8 (75% organic management + 25% inorganic fertilizers) recorded maximum plant height at 90 DAT (183.40 cm), plant height at final stage of harvesting (245.18 cm), whereas maximum leaf area (89.24 cm2) and stem diameter (1.46 cm) were recorded with treatment T2 (100% RDF + biofertilizers). Maximum branches per plant (8.69), maximum clusters per plant (8.08) and maximum fruits per cluster (6.60) were recorded with treatment T3 (100% vermicompost + biofertilizers). Maximum NPK nutrient uptake was observed with combined applications of organic manures and inorganic fertilizers as compared to chemical fertilizers alone.
