Evaluation of Cherry Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme) Genotypes for Yield and Quality Traits

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

“…An increase in growth and yield occurs due to improved photosynthesis activity, which is determined by the size and number of leaves per plant. The current findings are in accordance to those of Najeema et al (2018).…”

“…Significantly higher average fruit weight was registered in Punjab Kesar Cherry (14.82 g) which was followed by G-16 (11.82 g), G-12 (11.20 g) whereas, the lowest average fruit weight was recorded by G-14 (3.14 g). This was in line with the research Najeema et al (2018) andAnwarzai et al (2020.…”

“…The enhancement of fruit set could be attributed to the presence of a microclimate with better climatic conditions and ideal temperature, which aided in the higher rate of anther dehiscence, higher pollen viability, better pollination, and ultimately fruit set. Similar performance was also reported by Renuka et al, (2014); Najeema et al, (2018) and Anwarzai et al, (2020).…”

“…The higher yield of Punjab Sona Cherry, Punjab Kesar Cherry, G-16, and G-12 was mostly leading to a high number of fruits per plant, as well as a higher proportion of flowers and fruits /cluster, as well as a higher number of branches and plant height which ultimately decided the greater yield improvement to the plant. The present findings were akin to that of Najeema et al (2018) in tomato. Among vegetables, tomatoes are the most popular processed vegetable in the world.…”

Evaluation of Growth, Yield and some Qualities Characteristics of Two Cherry Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme) Cultivars under Plastichouse Conditions

“…The Maximum average of fruit diameter and weight (42.17 mm, and 38.18 g respectively) was recorded in Golden Sunrise cultivar. The higher yield of Gardeners Delight cultivar may be due to its genetic potential for setting flowers as well as a high number of clusters per plant the results are in agreement with earlier reports [18,19]. In the case of total soluble solids (TSS), lycopene and carotene showed highly significant differences between cherry tomato cultivars (table 3).…”
