Farmers use either chemical pesticide or biopesticide to protect the crops from pests. This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of biopesticide (Neemazal-T/S) and chemical pesticide (Omite) on the growth and the physicochemical analysis of the plant Lycopersicon esculentum and their effects on the soil microflora. Three tomato plants were grown as control, for biopesticide and chemical pesticide apply. Evaluation of three plant soil under field conditions was for soil parameters and microflora. Evaluation of three types of plant under field conditions was for shoot, root and leaf length, number of branches and physiochemical analysis of the leaf both qualitatively and quantitatively. Chemical pesticide affected plant growth as well as the soil microflora. While biopesticides induce the plant growth and does not affect the soil microflora in the field condition. Control plant remains.
