Abstract In the Rabi season of 2023–24, a field experiment was undertaken to assess the bio-efficacy of CropBioLife, a flavonoid-based foliar spray, on the tomato crop, located at the Tomato Improvement Scheme, MPKV, Rahuri. The significantly affected growth, yield and fruit quality parameters of tomato by CropBioLife in the field experiment utilized a randomized block design with five treatments and four replications on the variety ‘Dhanashree’. The observed treatment included the CropBioLife foliar application which resulted in improved growth, yield and fruit quality parameters. The 2 ml/L dosage (Treatment T4) observed the tallest plants (107.12 cm), earliest flowering (29.14 days) from flowering to fruit formation, highest fruit number (25.72 fruits/plant), maximum average fruit weight (78.50 g) and yield (57.82 t/ha). CropBioLife produced the maximum TSS value (4.60 °B), this effect was dependent on the dose used until 2 ml/L, and the higher dosage did not improve the yield more than 2 ml/L. Therefore, CropBioLife has shown to be potential evident to be effectively an option to improve behaviour of tomato productivity potential and quality.
