A field experiment was conducted during growing season of 2014 to evaluate the effect of NPK and farm yard manure (mixed of chicken, cow and sheep manures) on the yield and growth components of tomato. Three treatments were used [Control (no fertilizer), NPK (250 kg/ha) and farm yard manure (8 t/ha). Farm yard manure (FYM) showed significant increase in the highest plant height, leaf number/plant, fruit number/plant and fruit yield followed by NPK and control gave the lowest. Farm yard manure gave the highest yield production (9.57 t/ha), NPK gave 7.15 t/ha and control gave 5.98 t/ha.
