Abstract


A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of miraculan on biochemical parameters in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.). The different concentration of miraculan (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0 and 10 ppm) was applied at preflowering, flowering and post flowering stages i.e. 20, 40 and 60 DAS. The lower concentration showed increasing effect on chlorophyll content (in fresh leaves), total soluble sugar and Ascorbic acid content in fruit, while 8.0 and 10.0 ppm show non-significant increase in the above parameters.
