Effect of Applied Magnesium on Yield and Quality of Tomato in Alfisols of Karnataka

Field experiments were conducted for two years on Alfisols to assess the effect of applied magnesium on fruit yield and quality parameters in tomato. Magnesium was applied at four levels ranging from 0 to 100 kg/ha in the form of MgSO4. Applied Mg significantly enhanced fruit yield up to 50kg /ha du...
