Evaluation of Cherry Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme) for Yield and Quality Traits under Protected Condition of Jammu and Kashmir

Abstract

The present study was conducted at experimental farm, Division of Vegetable Science and Floriculture, SKUAST, Jammu during winter 2018-19 to study the performance of cherry tomato genotypes under lowcost polyhouse condition. The study consisted of ten cherry tomato genotypes laid out in Randomized Block Design with single row plot due to lack of seeds. Three genotypes namely Punjab Kesar Cherry (3.30 kg/plant), G-12 (2.13 kg/plant) and G-16 (2.01 kg/plant) was identified for higher yield among all the genotypes. With respect to quality parameters maximum TSS was recorded in G-22 followed by G-14, lycopene content was higher in Punjab Red Cherry followed by Punjab Sona Cherry.
