      abstract = {Tomato is one of the most popular and widely grown  vegetable crops in the world. However, its yield and  production are highly constrained by several factors in  Ethiopia. The objective of this study is to evaluate the  influence of staking, mulching, and organic manures on the  yield and yield component of tomatoes in the study area.  The study was conducted in the Boko research site of the  Fedis Agricultural Research Center. The experimental design  was a randomized complete block with three replications for  thirteen treatments. The combined analysis of variance  revealed significant differences among the treatments for  all parameters. Results stated that Pm+S+Um was better than  other treatments in terms of plant height, number of  branches per plant, number of clusters per plant, number of  fruits per cluster, average fruit weight, and marketable  yield. Considering the results it can be concluded that  Pm+S+Um is more efficient for better growth and yield  contributing characters compared to other treatments.  Accordingly, the use of Pm+S+Um advanced marketable yield  by about 90.77% over the control and economic returns  (801875 ETB ha-1). Therefore, Pm+S+UM was recommended for  tomato production in the study area and similar  agro-ecology.},
