Four tomato varieties namely LTH-61, Avinash-2, NSITH-162 and BL-410 were evaluated in farmer's field with farmers participation under plastic house condition for yield potential and other yield characters at Hemja, Kaski (920 masl) during rainy seasons of two consecutive years 2002 and 2003. The experiment was arranged in randomized complete block design with 5 replications, farmer as a replication. NSITH-162 took the shortest period of days to flowering and first harvest with an average of 36 and 66 days after transplanting respectively. Fruit set after flowering was highest in NSITH-162 (93.9%) and the lowest in Avinash-2 (83.1%). NSITH-162 produced the highest marketable fruit yield (89.05 t/ha) and Avinash-2 produced the lowest (51.98 t/ha). The results of the experiment revealed that the hybrid varieties NSITH-162 and LTH-61 have more yield potentiality than open pollinated variety BL-410 and Avinash-2 an Indian hybrid variety and therefore NSITH-162 variety could be recommended for commercial production under plastic house condition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
