| dc.description.abstract | A field experiment was carried out at the department of horticulture, Hi-tech Horticulture Unit, Saidapur Farm, University of Agricultural Sciences Dharwad during 2009-10 to study the performance of tomato hybrids under shade house condition. Among the vegetative parameters STH-801 tomato recorded higher plant height (309.03 cm), maximum number of branches per plant (8.17) whereas, STH-801 hybrid recoded more number leaves (85.67/plant). Hybrid STH-901 recorded longer internodes (6.96 cm), higher leaf width (5.82 cm) and longer leaves (15.40 cm) and STH-39 recoded thick stem (1.78 cm). Plants trained under single stem recorded higher plant height (270.08 cm), stem girth (1.75 cm ), number of branches per plant (7.78), intermodal length (6.75 cm), leaf length (15.10 cm), leaf area (77.06 cm2) compared to the plants trained with two stems. Number of leaves per plant (82.80) was found maximum in plants trained under double stem. Days to fifty per cent flowering, days taken from flowering to fruit development were not influenced by training. Among the hybrids, STH-801 recorded higher number of cluster per plant (12.15), number of fruit per cluster (7.75) and percent fruit set (93.17). STH-801 recorded the highest yield per plant (6.52 kg), yield per square meter (15.68 kg) and number of seeds per fruit (141.50). Whereas, STH-39 recorded the highest average fruit weight (115.50 g), average fruit diameter (6.30 cm) and average fruit volume (157.00 cc). Plants with double stem recorded increased yield per plant, yield per square meter (6.30, 15.36 kg respectively). Plants with single stem recorded highest average fruit weight, average fruit diameter, average fruit volume and number of seeds per fruit (105.50 g, 5.59 cm, 143 cc, 115 respectively). STH-801 tomato juice possessed higher amount of TSS and pH (5.47 0B, 6.20 respectively). The study revealed that hybrid STH-801 performed best with yield of 6.52 kg per plant and STH-801 on double stem training system was superior of all the other treatment combinations | en_US |
