Determination of Association of Yield Components in Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)

Abstract

The present investigation was conducted in Randomized Block Design with 38 genotypes (including three checks) of tomato in three replications for thirteen quantitative traits. The objectives were to assess the correlation for fruit yield and yield contributing characters. The association studies showed that fruit yield per plant had highly significant and positive correlation with marketable fruit yield per plant, average fruit weight, equatorial diameter, unmarketable fruits yield per plant and number of fruits per plant at both phenotypic and genotypic levels.
