Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The study on the performance of four tomato hybrids/ variety was conducted at the experimental farm of Olericulture Division, Horticulture Research Centre, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur, Bangladesh during the winter season of 2017 to develop high yielding F₁ tomato varieties which are in good quality and resistance to major pest and diseases. The lines varied significantly (P<0.05) for their response to all character. The hybrid F₁P₄P₉ took minimum 88.67 days to first harvest, and gave the highest number of marketable fruit number per plant (59.67). The hybrid F₁ P₅P₉ Produced the harvest (86.2 g) and largest fruit (6.21 cm) length and 6.83 cm diameter. The maximum fruit yield per plant (2.51kg) was obtained from F₁P₄P₉. The significantly highest fruit yield (80.28 t/ha) was produced by F₁P₄P₉ which was followed by F₁P₅P₉ (71.23 t/ha) while yield lowest was produced by BARI Hybrid Tomato 9 (68.85 t/ha). The minimum infestation by virus was (2.39%) was observed in F₁P₄P₉, while the infestation range was 5.45% -6.67% in other varieties. The results of the present study revealed that the two hybrids F₁ P₄P₉and F₁ P₅P₉ was found promising for earliness, high yield, virus tolerance and may be put under trial for RYT in the next winter season.

Start Date: 00-00-2017

End Date: 00-00-2018

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Tomato

Objectives:

To assess the yield, growing adaptability under different agro-ecological zone of Bangladesh with ultimate goal to release as hybrid tomato variety.

Methodology:

The experiment was carried out at the experimental field of Olericulture Division of Horticultural Research Centre, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, during the winter season of 2017-18. Two tomato hybrids viz., P₄P₉and P₅P₉ along with BARI Hybrid Tomato 5 and BARI Hybrid Tomato 9 were used as check in this study. The seeds of the above-mentioned hybrids were sown on 25 October, 2017. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 3 replications. The size of a unit plot was 2.4m × 1m, and the plant spacing was 60cmx40cm. Each unit plot contained 2 rows of plants (12 plants/ plot). Thirty days old seedlings were transplanted in the main plot on 25 November 2017. The crop was fertilized with cow dung 10 ton, N-253 kg (urea-550 kg), P- 90 kg (TSP-450 kg), K-125 (MoP-250 kg), S-21 kg (Gypsum-116 kg), Zn-4.9 kg (Zinc Sulphate-14 kg) and B-2 kg (Boric acid-12 kg) per hectare, respectively. Half of the quantity of cow dung, entire P and half of the K, entire zinc and boron were applied during land preparation. The remaining half of the cow dung was applied during pit preparation. The rest of K and entire N were applied at three equal installments at 15, 30 and 45 days after transplanting. The intercultural operations (weeding, irrigation, insecticide spray etc.) were done as and when necessary. Data were collected on days to first flowering, days to first harvest, plant height, number of fruits/plant, individual fruit weight(g), fruit length (cm), fruit breadth (cm), TSS, fruit weight/ plant (kg), fruit yield (t/ha). The information on different quantitative characters was statistically analyzed using MSTAT C software.
