| dc.description.abstract | The management practice, which greatly influences tomato fruit yield, is plant density. Field trial was carried out to determine the suitable plant densities that would give optimum tomato yield. The trial was laid in a randomize complete block design (RCBD) in a split plot arrangement and replicated three times. Tomato varieties were the main plots (Roma VF and Ibadan local) and plant density (17,777, 26,666 and 53,333 plants/ha-1) was the sub plots. Data collected included plant growth parameters and yield component. All data were analyzed using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and significant means were separated by the least significant difference at 5% probability level (LSD0.05). Ibadan local with the density of 53,333 plants/ha-1 gave the highest yield. Significant differences among the two varieties for a number of factors confirmed their different genetic background. The growth and yield attribute were affected by the two treatments; variety and plant density. In conclusion, Ibadan local and Roma VF with the density of 53,333 plants/ha-1 gave the highest yield. | en_US |
