Abstract: The current study conducted Vegetable Research Farm, Dr. RPCAU, Pusa attempted to determine the general and specific combining ability variances as their effects for various quantitative characteristics in tomato.Line × Tester analysis including ten lines and three testers illustrated the preponderance SCA over GCA for all the characteristics studied.Combining ability effects (GCA & SCA) were estimated using thirteen parents consisting their thirty hybrids developed through Line × Tester method.The results indicated that the lines, Kashi Hemant was found to be good general combiner with high per se performance may be used the best parents a donor to enhance the plant height, number of flowers cluster - 1 , polar as well as equatorial diameter of fruit, average fruit weight, acidity of the fruit and fruit yield plant -1 .In case of tester, Bhilai was found to be a good general combiner and high per se performance for traits like plant height, number of flowers cluster -1 , acidity of the fruit and fruit yield plant -1 .EC 177371 × PKM-1 best hybrid to enhance the number of fruits cluster -1 , polar as well as equatorial diameter of fruit, average fruit weight and fruit yield plant -1 and plant height, number of primary branches plant -1 , number of fruits cluster -1 , TSS content of fruit S-12 × PDT-3-1 were show highest SCA effects as well as high per se performance.
