Screening of Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum Child) Genotypes for Yield and Yield Components under Foot Hills of Arunachal Pradesh
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The present study aimed to screen out fifty tomato genotypes with respect to growth and yield potential, under foot hill of Arunachal Pradesh at Vegetable Research Farm of College of Horticulture and Forestry, Central Agricultural University, Pasighat (Arunachal Pradesh) during Rabi season. The experiments were laid out in a Randomized Block Design with three replications under field condition. The present investigation revealed that the analysis of variance was highly significant for all the traits. Data were collected on growth parameters and yield components. Mean performance showed that genotype CHF-TOM-35 took minimum days to 50% flowering (35.33 days), 50% fruit setting (42.67 days) and days to first harvest (76.67). Genotype CHF-TOM-35 was also showed superior performance in result of yield contributing characters like Number of flower cluster per plant (10.37), Number of fruit per cluster (6.93), Number of fruit per plant (58.47), Fruit yield per plant (3.33 kg), Total fruit yield per plot (47.33 kg), and ultimately result in highest total fruit yield per hectare (788.77 q). The results of the present investigation clearly indicate that genotype CHF-TOM-35 were better in most of growth and yield parameters compared to other genotype. Hence it was recommended that farmer should grow tomato genotype CHF-TOM-35 for increased growth and yield in foot hill of Arunachal Pradesh.
