The experiment was carried out during rabi season 2017-18 at the Regional Horticultural Research Station, ASPEE College of Horticulture and Forestry, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat. The experiment was conducted with a set of twelve treatments viz., T1 (Control or No spray), T2 (Water spray at 25 DATP), T3 (Water spray at 25 & 50 DATP), T4 (Novel spray 2 % at 25 DATP), T5 (Novel spray 1 % at 25 & 50 DATP), T6 (Vermiwash 3 % at 25 DATP), T7 (Vermiwash 1.5 % at 25 & 50 DATP), T8 (Panchagavya 3 % at 25 DATP), T9 (Panchagavya 1.5 % at 25 & 50 DATP), T10 (Moringa extract 3 % at 25 DATP), T11 (Moringa extract 1.5 % at 25 & 50 DATP) and T12 (Moringa extract 1 % at 25, 50 & 75 DATP). The results have revealed that among different treatments, panchagavya @ 3 % at 25 DATP exhibits maximum yield characters of tomato.
