“…The alterations in total soluble solids were due to variations in genotypes and environmental conditions conquered during the growing season. Substantial variability among the tomato genotypes for this character was also observed by many former researchers explicitly, Cheema et al (2013); Singh et al (2019) and Sinha et al (2020).…”

Tomatoes are an important part of a healthy human diet. The productivity and quality of the produce are being measured by using advanced production technologies. Protected cultivation is an advanced agrotechnology that is utilized all over the world to generate high quality output. Indeterminate tomato is a growing crop though, still, in Punjab, no systemic work has been done for the evaluation of quality attributes of indeterminate tomato genotypes under the protected environment. Inherent diversity is a chief concern for the improvement of quality attributes in tomato. Considering the importance of tomatoes, there is an urgent need to screen out genotypes of indeterminate tomato for a best quality production and for higher nutritive value. The investigation was carried out at the Department of Vegetable Science of Agriculture, Khalsa College, Amritsar, Punjab, India and the experiment were conducted under modified naturally ventilated polyhouse following Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications, consisting twelve genotypes including standard check during spring-summer season, 2020-2021. The data exhibited significant variation in twelve genotypes for different characters. Based on mean performance, the result let out that Punjab Gaurav and JC-165 was superior for all the quality attributes. Whereas, pericarp thickness and fruit shape index were maximum in KCA-2 while Punjab Sartaj was sophisticated for TSS, lycopene and ascorbic acid although greater titrable acidity was recorded in Arka Vikas. Significantly, the result was higher due to the favorable conditions provided in a protected environment during the growing period with the interaction of genes of genotype.

“…Variation might be because of the genetic makeup of genotypes. These finding are assisted by Khapte and Jansirani (2014); Prakash et al (2019); Mohmoud and Khaili (2019); Sinha et al (2020) and Kumari and Patil (2021).…”

“…The values of the mean sum of squares of Analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed highly significant differences among the tested hybrids for all the traits studies viz., days to 50% flowering, days to first picking, number of fruits plant -1 , fruit shape index, pericarp thickness (mm), inter-nodal length (cm), number of nodes plant -1 , plant height (cm), yield plant -1 (kg), yield m -2 area (kg m -2 ), total soluble solids ( o B) and bacterial wilt incidence (Plant survival %). The significant variations among the hybrids presented in Table 2, showed the presence of adequate variability which can be exploited through selection (Hidayatullah et al, 2008;Kaushik et al, 2011;Dar and Sharma, 2011;Sanchez et al, 2019;Sinha et al, 2020). Earlier researchers had also observed a similar trend.…”

“…Protected cultivation has been gaining importance for the last twenty years in Himachal Pradesh on account of favorable growing conditions inside. Throughout the year production is not possible in open field conditions due to the susceptibility of crops to several biotic and abiotic stresses; to overcome these stresses, protected cultivation is the best substitute (Sinha et al, 2020). It offers many benefits to the producers like; earliness, higher quality, and productivity, pesticide residuefree produce with higher returns to growers.…”

A study was conducted to estimate genetic variability among horticultural traits and to evaluate these hybrids for protected environmental cultivation during spring-summer season, 2019 (April-September). Twelve hybrids of tomato were evaluated under modified naturally ventilated poly-house at the Vegetable Research Farm, Department of Vegetable Science and Floriculture, Chaudhary Sarwan Kumar Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya following Randomized Complete Block Design (RBD) with three replications, Palampur, Himachal Pradesh, India. Based on the mean performance, hybrid CLN2126×CLN1314G was found promising for yield plant-1 (4.37 kg) yield m-2 area (26.24 kg), TSS (6.53 °B), days to 50% flowering (26.66 days), days to first picking (67.33 days), number of fruits per plant (64.01), inter-nodal length (17.71 cm), number of nodes plant-1 (16.70 nodes) and plant height 316.87 cm). So, an ideal plant type producing a higher yield per plant will be the one having traits like a higher number of fruits per plant, and lesser days to first picking. It is concluded that the hybrid combination CLN2126×CLN1314G is promising for these traits. This can be included for multi-locational testing in different agro-climatic zones of Himachal Pradesh under protected environment.

“…The flowers are about one centimeter in diameter (Wan, 2020). Tomato fruits exists in many shapes appearing large and round oval or elongated, depending on the variety (Sinha, 2020). The fruits may be orange, yellow or red when ripe, usually with numerous kidney or peershaped, hairy, light brown seeds (Bruno, 2018).…”

Purpose: Tomato is one of the most popular and versatile vegetables in the world and organic production with high yields of desirable quality are a target of many producers. However, the yield of tomatoes in Uganda are low compared to other parts of the world. The reason is that most soils in Uganda are low in fertility. There is widespread soil degradation, due to massive soil erosion resulting into loss of organic matter, high soil acidity and nutrient imbalance hence low crop yields. This study aimed at establishing the effect of different poultry manure on the performance of tomatoes. Methodology: The field trials were conducted in the mid altitude environment at BSU farm. Four treatments which included broiler, Layer, combination of Broiler and Layer chicken manure and the control were applied. The study was carried out in a randomized complete block design replicated four times. Measurements were made on number of leaves, number of flowers, plant height, fruit weight, fruit size, number of tomatoes and yield per hectare. Broiler and layer chicken manure increased the number of leaves, plant height number of flowers, number of fruits, fruit weight and fruit size significantly. Findings: The results indicate that poultry manure is very rich in macro nutrients. Among the treatments, broiler and layer chicken manure gave the highest fruit yield of 13.8 and 13.4 tons per hectare (t/ha) respectively. A combination of the manure produced 12.8 t/ha and the control treatment gave the lowest yield of 8.1 tons per hectare (t/ha). There was no significant difference between broiler and layer chicken manure. Both manures were equally good and enhanced yield. Therefore, farmers may opt for either of the two depending on the availability. Recommendation: The study recommend that either broiler or layer chicken manure can be used for production of tomato in order to achieve high yields.
