Abstract

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is one of the leading vegetable crops in the world. In order to harness boom in tomato productivity, tomato hybrids are evaluated under varied agro-climatic conditions especially protected conditions. In the present study, morphological and biochemical properties of fourteen fresh tomato hybrids were analyzed under polyhouse in mid hill condition of Uttarakhand, India. The experiment was conducted during s rainy eason of 2012-2013 in randomized block design with three replications and fourteen treatments (each hybrid representing one treatment). The results showed that the tomato hybrid Himraja could perform outstandingly well  for  various morphological and quality characters viz., plant height (315.00 cm), percent fruit set  (84.09 %), higher number of marketable fruits per plant (58.53), maximum marketable fruit yield per hectare (1080.00 q) and high TSS (7.98 ºBrix) as compared to all other hybrids. Besides, it also proved the best with respect to disease resistance and profitability.
