Abstract: An experiment was carried out to study the growth parameters of coloured tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) as influenced by different coloured shade nets with varying shade intensities at the PFDC, Department of Horticulture, GKVK, UAS, Bengaluru during 2013-14. The experiment was laid out with three replications comprising of fifteen treatments. The spacing followed was 60 cm x 45 cm. The data were statistically analysed by using Split plot design. The results revealed that the earliest flower initiation treatment T9 (C3P3: Red colour shade net + 75 per cent shade) (28.10 days), highest number of flowers per plant as observed also in treatment T9 (C3P3: Red color shade net + 75 per cent shade) 118.5 number and maximum per cent fruit set (78.17 %) was obtained under red colour shade net, 75 per cent shade intensity respectively while early fruit set (7.77 days) and harvest (28.1 days) were found to be under red colour shade net, 75 per cent shade intensity respectively. The highest number of fruits per plant (88.15), yield per plant (8.73 kg) and yield per hectare (193.80 t/ha) are obtained under treatment T9 (C3P3: Red color shade net + 75 per cent shade).
