Effect of Age of Transplants on Fruit and Seed Yield of Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)

Tomato is a major cash crop of the mid-hill regions of Himachal Pradesh. Among various factors that affect its growth and yield, age of the transplant - an important factor - is generally ignored by farmers. Therefore, the present investigation was undertaken at Vegetable Research Farm, Department o...
