Abstract: The effect of date of transplanting, spacing and training systems on plant height and interaction effect in tomato production under protected condition was studied at the Research Farm of Department of Agricultural Engineering, CSK Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya, Palampur during summer season of 2013 and 2014 in two separate experiments inside the naturally ventilated playhouses. In this experiment, treatments comprised of three dates of transplanting (15^th March, 30^th March and 15^th April), two spacing (60 cm x 30 cm and 75 cm x 30 cm) and two training systems (two shoots and three shoots) was laid out in a randomized block design with three replications. With regards to the plant height, number of shoots per plant, the treatment two shoots per plant recorded significantly higher than plants trained to three shoots.
