An experiment was conducted at Vegetable Research Farm, Nauni, Solan, Himachal Pradesh during summer 2008, in order to find out effect of organic manures and biofertilizers on different growth parameters and fruit yield of tomato. Non significant effects regarding number of primary branches and days to first picking were observed while, plant height, harvest duration and fruit yield were significantly affected. Maximum yield and longest harvest duration were observed with NPK application while, maximum plant height was obtained through Azotobacter application.
