Plant growth characters and fruit quality in tomato variety Gopi (F1 Hybrid) varied with the application of plant growth regulators (IAA 25 and 75 ppm. NAA 25 and 75 ppm) and commercially available micronutrients mixture (Humaur 2000 ppm and Multiplex 2500 ppm) combinations. Application of IAA 75 ppm along with multiplex 2500 ppm had good response on plant height and yield, and IAA 75 ppm alone had good response for number of branches. Application of IAA 25 ppm and multiplex 2500 ppm was superior for ascorbic acid content. Maximum chlorophyll content and acidity were obtained in the treatment, NAA 75 ppm aong with humaur 2000 ppm and IAA 75 ppm and humaur 2000 ppm was better for TSS and carotenoid content. NAA 75 ppm along with multiplex 2500 ppm showed good response for sugar content.
