Abstract

Forty genotypes of tomato germplasm under present investigation were characterized based on 11 qualitative traits viz., leaf colour, leaf pubescence, leaf / foliage cover, petiole pubescence, stem type, stem thickness, stem pigmentation, flower size, flower colour, fruit size, fruit shape. Tomato genotypes exhibited high variability for all qualitative traits viz., Leaf characters, stem characters, flower characters and fruit characters. Therefore, it is emphasized to lay attention on the traits viz., days to first flowering, number of fruits per plant, fruit weight in crop improvement programme of tomato in future.
