Abstract

The research experiment was carried out at the Horticulture Research Field at Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj during Rabi season 2022-2023 to investigate the growth and yield of different hybrids of tomato. The design of the experiment was RBD with three replications. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the plants in terms of various parameters such as plant height, number of branches, days to first flowering, days to 50% flowering, days to fruit setting, number of flowers cluster per plant, number of fruit set per cluster, number of fruits per plant, polar diameter, equatorial diameter, fruit weight, fruit yield/plant, and fruit yield/ha. The different hybrids (Gagan Plus, NS 585, Pukhraj, Hamilton, Beef Steak, Arka Rakshak, Arka Samrat and Shivani) have been taken in the study. The result of the study indicates that variety Arka Rakshak has a significantly improved growth and yield of tomato. The highest fruit weight and fruit yield were observed in the hybrid Arka Rakshak. Overall, the study suggests that the hybrid Arka Rakshak is the best for the growth and yield of tomatoes.
