Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at the Horticultural Farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural
University, Dhaka during the period from October 2012 to March 2013 to study the effect of
different doses of poultry manure and mulching on the growth and yield of tomato. The
experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design
replications and consisted of two factors, Factor A:

Control, P

= 5 t/ha, P

= 7.5 t/ ha and P
= 10 t/ha and Factor B:

different doses of poultry manure and mulches influence independently and also in
combination on the growth and yield of tomato. The highest marketable fruit yield
