Abstract : Both time and concentrations had affected significantly the growth parameters of plants. Maximum days to flowering (42.67), fruit per plant (77.69), plant height (77.78 cm), fruit weight (71.15 gm), number of branches (12.33) per plant and total yield (26840 kg ha -1) were recorded in the plants sprayed with 60 mg/lit of gibberellic acid 10 days before transplantation, while minimum values were noted in controlled treatment. Maximum fruit drop per plant was found for control treatment and minimum for the plants treated with gibberellic acid at 60 mg/lit. It is suggested that tomato should be supplied with gibberellic acid at 60 mg/lit. 10 days before transplantation under the agroclimatic conditions of Peshawar.,
