Abstract
Performance of Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) Hybrids Under Polyhouse
Condition
Mohan Singh* Dr. K.D. Ameta An experiment entitled "Performance of Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)
Hybrids Under Polyhouse Condition” was conducted at Hi-Tech Unit, Department of
Horticulture, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, MPUAT, Udaipur during the year
2017-18 to find out the best tomato hybrid under polyhouse condition. The
experiment was laid out in completely randomized design with nine hybrids replicated
four times.
The hybrid Dev was found best in terms of vegetative and yield characteristics
i.e. stem diameter (0.75 cm), leaf area (321.95 cm2), per cent fruit set (82.45 %) and
yield characteristics like fruit per plant (59.59), yield per plant (5496 g) and yield per
square meter (24.42 kg). Among the qualitative traits, maximum titrable acidity
(0.509 %), ascorbic acid (17.76 mg/100g) and lycopene content (5.80 mg/100g) were
recorded for hybrid Arka Samrat, whereas maximum total soluble solids (5.19oBrix)
were found in Sarthi-044.
The hybrid Dev was also found best hybrid as it gave highest gross return of (`
242200), net return of (` 168155) and net return per rupee investment (2.27) as
compared to other hybrids studied. On the basis of present investigation, it can be
inferred that the hybrids Dev was high yielding, hence that hybrid can be
recommended as better hybrids for commercial cultivation under polyhouse condition
in Udaipur, Rajasthan.
