Abstract: An experiment was carried out at Hi-tech Unit, Department of Horticulture, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, MPUAT, Udaipur during two consecutive years 2017 and 2018, to assess the effect of various organic manures, chemical fertilizers and biofertilizers of growth and its attributes of tomato under naturally ventilated polyhouse. The experiment was laid out in completely randomized design with eight treatment combinations and four replications. The pooled analysis revealed that maximum total soluble solids (5.21 oBrix), ascorbic acid content (18.43 mg/100g), titratable acidity (0.455 %) and number of fruits per plant (50.84) were observed with treatment T5 100 per cent organic management while minimum days to first harvest (86.71) were observed with the applications of 100 per cent vermicompost + biofertilizers. Treatment T7 (50 per cent organic + 50 per cent inorganic fertilizers) recorded significantly higher fruit weight (102.14 g) and total yield per plant (4990.91 g) under naturally ventilated polyhouse.
