Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during kharif 2018 in Randomized Block Design with three replications at College of Horticulture, Bagalkot, University of Horticulture Sciences, Bagalkot. Twelve diverse lines of tomato were crossed with four testers in line x tester mating design. The resultant 48 F1 hybrids along with 16 parents and two checks were evaluated for growth, yield and seed parameters in tomato. The experiment results revealed that hybrid, L4 X T3 performed best for characters viz., fruit yield per plant (3.53 kg), average fruit weight (93.67 g), yield per plot (52.95 kg), yield per hectare (51.54 t/ha) and number of seeds per fruit (126.67) when compared to all other hybrids. Besides, other hybrid, L12 X T3 also showed superior performance for fruit yield per plant (3.39 kg), yield per plot (50.78 kg) and yield per hectare (49.49 t/ha).
