Functional performances of tomato hybrids under polyhouse conditions at Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu

Abstract

An experiment was conducted under polyhouse conditions with three tomato hybrids namely Arka Rakshak, Shivam and Lakshmi to find the hybrid suitable for Tiruchirappalli region of Tamilnadu. The experimental design was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with eight replications. Quantitative yield parameters such as plant height (cm), flower cluster/plant, flowers/cluster, fruits/plant, single fruit weight (g) and yield/plant (kg) were studied. Hybrid Shivam recorded the highest in Number of fruits plant -1 (63.13), Single fruits weight (96.33 g) and Yield plant -1 (5.10 kg plant -1 ).

Study the Performance of High Yielding Tomato Hybrids in Dharmapuri District, Tamil Nadu, India

“…For diseases incidence, leaf curl virus disease incidence was higher in Sivam and lowest in Arka Abeth, while wilt incidence was higher in Sivam and lowest in COTH4 (Table 3). The similar results were confirmed with different studies [1,12,13,2] conducted in tomato crop.…”
