The present study investigated the effects of macro (75, 150 and 300 kg NPK ha-1) and micro-nutrients (0 zinc and 0 boron, 2 Zn and 2 B and 4 Zn and 4 B kg ha-1) with plant shading (shading and non-shading) in tomato cropping systems. The results showed that application of 150 kg NPK ha-1 with shading produced 43.11 g fruit weight per plant and the lowest fruit weight (5.66 gr fruit weight per plant) obtained in 75 kg NPK ha-1. The combination of micronutrients and macronutrients with shading had significant effects on plant height. Among studied treatments just micronutrients significantly affected brix index. Highest plant height obtained at 150kg/ha NPK and also 4kg/ha Zn and B resulted to highest plant height. The results obtained from this experiment strongly support this idea of improving the growth and yield of tomatoes by provision of balanced amount of nutrients.Keywords: Essential nutrients, Shading, Tomato, Zinc
