Mean performance for quantitative traits in germplasm of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)

Abstract

The present study was conducted at the College of Horticulture and Forestry, Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design with three replications during autumn- winter season in 2022-23 to assess the performance of 41 genotypes. Each treatment consisted of twelve plants in two rows, having spacing of 60 x 50 cm with net plot size of 3.0 × 3.0 m2. The seed were shown in nursery bed on 04-10-2022 and transplanted on 03-11-2022. Among the test entries, range for total fruit yield per plant (g) varied from 1211.93 to 4697.59 and it was highest in NDT 2022-11 followed by NDT 2022-24, NDT 2022-23, NDT 2022-12 were found significant against total fruit yield per plant of the check Narendra Tomato-4.
