Field study was carried out to know the performance of summer tomato and suitable time of planting for maximizing yield potential during 1997-1999. The results indicated that the plants planted in 15th April performed the best yield (26.78 t ha- 1) as compared to other planting times. It might be the cause of maximum vegetative growth as well as cool night temperature. Similarly, spraying tomato tone hormone (2%) efficiently produced the highest fruit yield (22.16 t ha-1) and maximum number of fruits (28.13 plant-1) than that of untreated plants. The results showed that from interaction effects, it was evident that 15th April planting with efficient use of tomato tone hormone exhibited best performance (31.37 t ha-1) and declined yield with the change of planting time.
