Economics of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) under sapota (Manilkara zapota L. P. Royen) based agroforestry system

The present trial was conducted with the aim to find the economics of tomato under sapota based agroforestry system in South Gujarat condition. The trial was undertaken at College Farm, N.M. College of Agriculture, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat during 2022-23. The experiment comprised of twelve treatments with three replications in Randomized Block Design. The highest net realization (₹ 4,44,661 ha-1) and BCR (2.45) were recorded in 75% RDN through Neem coated urea + 25% RDN through Biocompost in open field condition. Similarly, the highest net realization (₹ 2,65,829 ha-1) and BCR (2.50) were registered in 75% RDN through Neem coated urea + 25% RDN through Biocompost treatment which was followed by 100% RDN through Chemical Fertilizer (₹ 2,55,663 ha-1 and 2.42, respectively) under sapota based agroforestry system. Overall, in open condition and under sapota based agroforestry system, treatment 75% RDN through Neem coated urea + 25% RDN through Biocompost registered with the maximum net realization and BCR.
