ARMIS :: Welcome

To develop high yielding winter tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) variety(s) with lower reaction to disease to major diseases and insect-pests.

Six promising M6 mutants along with two check varieties were put into zonal yield trials during October 2003 to February 2004. Unit plot size was 5 m x 4 m having spacing of 50 cm between both rows and plants. Recommended cultural practices were followed as and when necessitate. Data on 90% fruit ripening, number of fruits/plant, average fruit weight and fruit yield per plant were recorded. Plot fruit yield was converted into ton per hectare. All the collected data were subjected to appropriate statistical analyses.

TM-130 considered as higher yield producing genotype among all entries over the locations.
