The physical and quality attributes of tomato was significantly altered by the application of integrated nutrient management. There are many micro and macro nutrients deficiency was observed in tomato which substantially reduced the physical and quality attributes of tomato fruits. To overcome these problems the present study was planned to enhance the physical and quality attributes of tomato by the application of integrated nutrients management on tomato. The application of 75% RDF + FYM @ 20 ton/ha + vermi-compost @ 10 ton/ha + VAM + PSB significantly produced the maximum plant height (123.67 cm), leaf length (21.78), number of flowers/ plant (57.98), fruit weight (82.67 g), fruit diameter (18.79 cm), total soluble solids (5.91 %), ascorbic acid (31.33 mg/100 g), lycopene content (3.12 mg/100 g), and minimum days to first fruiting (44.87) followed by 75 % RDF + FYM @ 20 ton/ha + VC @ 10 ton/ha + VAM as compared to rest of the treatments. Therefore, it can be concluded that application of 75% RDF + FYM @ 20 ton/ha + vermi-compost @ 10 ton/ha + VAM + PSB significantly improved the physical and qualitative characteristics of tomato as compared to control.
