Study on genetic variability studies in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)

Abstract

The present investigation was conducted in randomized block design with 26 genotypes of tomato in three replications. The objectives were to assess the relative performance, estimation of genetic parameters and genetic divergence for fruit yield and yield contributing characters. The magnitude of GCV and PCV was found highest for fruit shape index (35.28&37.46). The heritability estimates were found to be high (more than 70%) for plant height (cm) at 120 DAT (92.00) and fruit shape index (89.00). The high genetic advance was obtained of plant height (cm) at 120 DAT (53.88).
