- Abstract
The present research work was done to elucidate tomato vegetable plant growth cultivated in a floating raft aquaponics system with rohu and tilapia fishes. The experiment was conducted for 60 days in two treatments i.e., plant+rohu fish (T1) and plant+tilapia fish (T2). The replications (10) containing 400 L water stocked with fish fingerlings in the ratio of 1:1 (plants and fish) were reared to follow the standard cultivation methods, e.g., aeration, supplementary feeding, water exchange, etc. and growth measurements were taken every 15 days. The findings show that initial and final growth of 13.763 cm and 25.643 cm of plants were noted in T1, whereas 13.581 cm and 22.467 cm were recorded in T2. The net gain in plant growth was 11.880 cm in T1 and 8.886 cm in T2. Similarly, these findings indicated the increasing order 2.314<2.621<3.010<3.935 and 1.462<1.966<2.547<2.911 of plant growth at fortnightly intervals in T1 and T2, respectively. On the basis of these findings, it can be concluded that the growth of the tomato plant was more in T1 compared to T2 and plant growth in T1 and T2 variation was significant (p<0.05) may be due to more nitrogenous compounds released by the fish waste.
