Md. Ayub Ali, Bimal Kumar Pramanik and Tahmina Khanm

Abstract: The effect of additional nutrients on the growth and yield of leaf curl infected plants of tomato cultivar ‘Marglobe’ under natural field conditions was studied. The recommended dose of NPK were applied in the soil. After transplanting additional dose each of urea , potassium sulphate(PS) and single super phosphate(SSP) at the rate of 2.5 gm per plant were applied in two instalments. Disease incidence and severity was low in the plots in which additional nutrients were supplied. Higher fruits yield was obtained from the infected plants which were nourished with additional doses of urea, PS and SSP as compared to infected plants which were not supplied with additional nutrition. Best results were obtained when additional dose of urea, PS and SSP were applied as combination than their individual application.
