Author(s): NS Patil
Abstract: Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) belonging to Solanaceae family, which is one of the popular vegetable crops of the world including India, grown in most of the parts of the country which is widely used for culinary purpose. Tomato generally grown in three season viz. kharif, rabi and summer. In kharif and rabi Season due to market glut the price of tomato drastically fall down and farmer couldn’t get his even input cost. But in summer season, as it is off season farmer can get high market rate. So there is large scope to find out best suited hybrid which can perform well in the summer season as the net income is increased and the farmer is get benefited. In this present investigation the different hybrids were studied for their performance in the summer season with respect to quality and quantity parameters thorough plot experiment conducted during summer season of 2018. The experiment consisted of twenty-one hybrids and one hybrid check (TO 1057) were planted in Randomized Block Design in two replication. The observations recorded on different quantitative characters such as plant height, number of branches, number of days to 50 percent flowering, fruit set, number of fruits per plant, equatorial and polar diameter, average fruit weight, pericarp thickness, number of locules, yield per plant. The overall result indicates that the hybrids viz. 9 X 6, 9 X 3, 7 X 3, 3 X 6 and 6 X 7 appears to suitable for fruit setting under high temperature as they gave substantially higher yield with more number of good size fruits.
