Online published on 26 December, 2017. Abstract Twenty one elite lines of tomato were evaluated in Varanasi during 2010–11 to 2014–15 for important yield traits. Pooled analysis of variance revealed highly significant genotypic and environmental effects for all the traits. Variances due to genotype × environment revealed significant differences for number of fruits/plant and fruit yield/plant. Variance due to environment (linear) component was highly significant for all the traits. Variance due to genotype × environment (linear) was significant. The genotypes Kashi Amrit and Azad T 5 revealed stability for average fruit weight and the genotype H 24 for number of fruits/plant. The genotypes H 86, Kashi Amrit, Pusa Sadabahar were the stable genotypes for fruit yield/plant. The genotypes BT 120, NDTVR 60, Punjab Upma, Pusa Sadabahar were responsive genotypes for average fruit weight and the genotype GT was responsive for number of fruits/plant. The genotypes FLA 7171, Punjab Upma, Selection 7 were responsive genotypes for fruit yield/plant. Top Keywords Tomato, Stability, Regression coefficient, Fruit weight, Fruit Yield. Top |
