Abstract
A pot experiment was conducted to study the effect of different doses of gypsum (i.e. 60,120 and 180 mg/kg soil to provide 20, 40 and 60 kg sulphur/ha soil) on the growth of Lycopersicon esculentum cv. anuradha. Doses of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium were also given at foliage stage @ 20, 30 and 20 /ha soil to maintain the plant growth. Application of different doses of gypsum showed increased growth parameters. Shoot length, root length, shoot fresh weight, and root fresh weight, shoot dry weight and root dry weight increased over control in all the plants receiving various doses of sulphur, supplied by gypsum. Maximum increase in all the parameters was reported in plants receiving 60 kg sulphur /ha soil. However there was a direct correlation in the increase in plant growth parameters and the doses of gypsum.
