Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Two experiments were conducted during winter season of 2016-17 with seven promising tomato mutants and lines viz. TM-4, TM-5, TM-6, TM-8, Trumling red, Lupitas and Cherolla along with a check variety, Binatomato-7 at BINA sub-station farms of Rangpur and Magura. The experiments were laid out following a randomized complete block design with three replications. All morphological and yield attributes were significantly different among the genotypes. The genotype Lupitas was the tallest (154.7 cm) followed by Cherolla (145.3 cm). Trumling red was the shortest one (44.2 cm) with the highest number of branches plant^-1 (6.66). The highest fruit yield both per plant and per hectare was recorded in Trumling red (3.21 kg plant^-1 and 110.8 t ha^-1) due to production of higher number of fruits plant^-1 at both locations.

Keywords: Tomato, Genotype, Yield, Location

Location: BINA sub-stations Ishurdi and Magura

Start Date: 01-11-2016

End Date: 28-02-2017

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Tomato

Objectives:

To observe yield potential of tomato genotypes

Methodology:

On-station trials were conducted during winter season of 2016-17 with seven promising tomato mutants and lines viz. TM-4, TM-5, TM-6, TM-8, Trumling red, Lupitas and Cherolla along with a check variety, Binatomato-7 at BINA sub-station farms of Rangpur and Magura. The experiments were laid out following a randomized complete block design with three replications having a unit plot size of 3 m × 3 m. Row to row and plant to plant distances were 50 cm. Urea, triple superphosphate and muriate of potash were applied at the rate of 240, 220 and 250 kg ha^-1, respectively. Proper cultural practices were done as and when necessary. Data on morphological, yield and yield attributes were recorded at harvest from 10 randomly selected plants of each plot and fruit yield was taken from the whole plot and converted into ton ha^-1.
