Abstract: Multiplex yield enhancers were evaluated on tomato growth, yield and pest incidence. The findings suggest that soil application of Treatment T₁₀ that is Bio-enriched organic manures along with other macro and micronutrients and bio-stimulants has shown highest plant height (51.60 cm, 95.26 cm and 147.33 cm), number of leaves per plant (111.73, 191 and 291.8) and number of branches per plants (12.86, 33.40 and 44.80) at 30, 60 and 90 Days after planting respectively. The same treatment is known to record enhanced yield attributes like Number of fruits/plant (238.66), fruit yield/ plant (12.39 kg), and yield/ha (13.76 tons). Whereas the foliar application of Bio Jodi which is a Bio bactericide with nutrients showed effective control of pest and diseases. Tomatoes demand balanced nutrients for better growth and development. When these are provided with a combined application of organic manures and fertilizers enhance the overall growth, hinder pest and disease development intern increases the yield.
