Tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum, Mill.) Performance and Yield on Plantation Patterns Variations and Irrigation Techniques

This research aimed to know effect of plant pattern and irrigation technique to tomato yield and performance. This research was conducted by experimental method and implemented in farmer's land in Tanah Putih Village, Kupang Timur Sub-district, Kupang Regency starting on April 2017. The design used was randomized block design of factorial pattern with 2 factor 3 x 3. First factor was planting pattern model: monoculture tomato, intercropping tomato with lemongrass and intercropped tomato with basil. Second factor was irrigation technique ie drip irrigation, flushed from the top of the plant, and doused around the stem. Each treatment combination was repeated 3 times.The data obtained were tested further with BNT 5%. Planting pattern model had significant effect on plant height and leaf area on 4 WAP, stem diameter and number of bunch of flowers. Irrigation techniques have significant effect on stem diameter, very significant effect on plant height 6 WAP, number of leaf and fruit diameter. Intercropping tomato and basil intercropping with drip irrigation technique gave the best yield of tomato.
