The experiment was carried out on tomato plants in a Polyhouse to see the effect of foliar spray of five levels of zinc sulphate (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 ppm) and number of sprays (first, second and third).15 treatment combinations were replicated three times in the Factorial Complete Randomized Design having bed size of 10 m x 1 m with a row to row distance of 45 cm and plant to plant distance 60 cm. The first, second and third spray of zinc sulphate was done 20, 40 and 60 days after transplanting respectively. The increasing levels of zinc sulphate and number of sprays significantly increased the total soluble solid, ascorbic acid, and total sugar.
