Variation in morphological attributes and yield of tomato cultivars (original) (raw)

AGRICULTURE, LIVESTOCK and FISHERIES VARIATION IN MORPHOLOGICAL ATTRIBUTES AND YIELD OF TOMATO CULTIVARS

A pot experiment was carried out in the grill house of the Department of Seed Science and Technology, Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh during the period of mid December 2014 to mid April 2015. The experiment conducted with five treatments (five tomato genotypes) and employed in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four replications. Of the five genotypes two were obtained Japan (Pasta and Mimi) and the rest three from Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI). Genetic variations appeared for morphological and phenological characters and yield attributes in the five tomato genotypes. Taller plants with higher number of branches were observed in the Japanese genotype (Mimi) while number of days required to initiate flower and fruit initiation and fruit maturity were shorter in BARI tomato 12 and BARI tomato 14. Flower and fruit productions plant-1 was higher in BARI released tomato cultivars, therefore, the tomato yield was also higher in those cultivars.

Assessment of different tomato genotypes for yield and morphological attributes

Pure and Applied Biology

This experiment was carried out to assess different tomato genotypes for yield and morphological attributes at Agricultural Research Station (ARS) Swabi during 2018. Experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Results of the experiment showed significant differences among the tomato genotypes for all parameters except days to first flower initiation. Maximum number of flowers cluster-1 (20.0 flowers) were observed for tomato genotype 006231 and maximum number of fruits inflorescence-1 (15.0) were recorded for genotypes 006231 and 00289, respectively. Maximum number of primary branches plant-1 (10.0 branches) and secondary branches plant-1 (24.0 branches) were developed by tomato genotype 017875. Bombino produced maximum fruit length (5.84 cm) and fruit diameter (4.99 cm), respectively. Highest plant height was attained by genotype 017875 (102.5 cm) while Roma produced smaller plants (49.9 cm). Maximum numbers of fruit clusters plant-1 (28.0 clusters) were produced by genotype 00289 whereas Red Wonder showed maximum fruit yield plot-1 (3.74 kg). Higher values of phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) and genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) were observed for number of secondary branches plant-1 (32.49% and 31.69%), number of fruit clusters plant-1 (29.03% and 25.94%), plant height (22.93% and 21.72%) and fruit yield plot-1 (42.92% and 39.63%). High broad sense heritability values were obtained for number of secondary branches plant-1 (95.1%), fruit diameter (66.8%), number of fruit clusters plant-1 (92.1%), plant height (89.7%) and fruit yield plot-1 (85.2%). On the basis of excellent performance for most of the yield and yield related parameters, the tomato genotypes Red Wonder, Bombino, 006231, 00289 and 017875 are recommended for onward use in tomato breeding programs for the development of commercial tomato varieties/hybrids.

2016

Background: An experiment was carried out in Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture (BINA), Mymensingh, Bangladesh to study the morphological, physiological, yield and yield contributing characters of fourteen genotypes of tomato such as Binatomato 3. Momotaru, BL-1173, BL-1174, BL-1175, BL-1176, CLN-2001A, CLN-2026D, CLN-2366A, CLN-2413R, CLN-2418A, CLN-2443A, CLN/62/6 and CL-5915. Currently a few varieties are recommended for summer cultivation, for this reason fourteen genotypes were used in this experiment to screening best suited genotypes for that season. Materials and Methods: The Randomized Complete Block Design was followed in the experiment with 3 replications of each treatment. Results: All the parameters were significantly differed each other. The highest chlorophyll content (2.36 mg g-1fw at 45 DAT and 1.82 mg g-1fw 60 DAT), dry matter content of fruit (6.54%), the maximum individual fruit weight (82.66 gm) and the highest weight of fruit per plant (1.35 kg) were r...

Journal of Bioscience and Agriculture Research, 2015

An experiment was conducted at Agronomy Farm of the Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka to study growth and yield responses of tomato varieties. Experiment consisted of four varieties, viz. BARI Tomato-4 (V1), BARI Tomato-5 (V2), BARI Tomato-7 (V3) and BARI Tomato-9 (V4) using Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Tallest plant (101.3 cm), maximum number of leaves (114.1/plant) and maximum number of branches (10.0/plant) was found from BARI Tomato-7. While maximum number of flowers (6.1/cluster), number of fruits (5.0/cluster), number of clusters (17.9/plant) were found from BARI Tomato-9. However, maximum fruit diameter (20.1 cm), individual fruit weight (115.9 g), yield (34.7 kg/plot and 95.9 t/ha), number of locule (4.4/fruit) were also found from BARI Tomato-7. Virus infestation, fruit length and Total soluble solid (TSS) were statistically identical among the varieties.

International Journal of Plant & Soil Science

Twenty three tomato genotypes were evaluated during summer season of 2011 to characterize and evaluate the yield performance under high temperature conditions. Days to first flowering ranged from 41.00 to 51.33 days among the studied genotypes. The highest number of fruits per plant (45.27) was recorded from the genotype FP5 × WP10 followed by C41 ×TLB182 (30.90) while it was the lowest (2.27) for the genotype TLB182. The genotype C41 × VRT004 had the highest fruit weight (80.81 g) closely followed by C51 × VRT004 (79.75 g). The genotype FP5 × WP10 yielded the highest amount of fruits per plant (1.90 kg) followed by C71 × VRT004 (1.61 kg). The corresponding yield (t/ha) was also the highest (64.6 t/ha) for FP5 ×WP10 followed by C71 ×VRT004 (54.74 t/ha).

Morphological and agronomic characterization of tomato under field conditions

Journal of pure and applied biology , 2017

This experiment was conducted at Plant Genetic Resources Institute, National Agricultural Research Centre, Islamabad. A total of 156 germplasm accessions of tomatoes of local and exotic origin from the National Genebank of Pakistan at PGRI were used. Agro-morphological traits including 14 quantitative traits were studied. Tomato accessions were grown under a controlled environment and two-week-old seedlings were then transferred to trays which were later on transplanted in the field at 3-4 leaf stage. The accessions were grown in the field with a plant to plant distance of 50 cm and row to row distance of 75. Frequency distribution for all agro-morphological characteristics was studied. Variation was observed for all the parameters studied. Maximum yield per plant was found in accession 17863 while maximum fruit size was observed in accessions LA-3346, Dny-evf-Riograndea (a) and LA-0146 (a). Descriptive statistics showed high variation in case of fruit length, fruit width, pedicel length, total number of inflorescence, and yield per plant which indicates that these characteristics can be improved using the present tomato germplasm. Correlation analysis was performed to know about the morphological characteristics positively correlated with economically important traits. Cluster analysis and dendrogram construction shows the genetic diversity in the germplasm which indicates the usefulness of germplasm for tomato hybridization and breeding.

Determination of Morphological Characteristics of Some Prominent Tomato Genotypes

Selcuk journal of agriculture and food sciences, 2022

Tomato is one of the most important vegetable species with a high economic value which is a member of the Solanum genus of the Solanaceae family (Jenkins, 1948; Peralta et al., 2008). Today about 180 million tons of tomatoes are produced in an area of about 5 millions ha in the world. Turkey is among the three biggest tomato producers in the world with a 12.5 million tons production quantity (FAO, 2019). It also has an indispensable position in many countries' kitchens with its various usages. Tomato is a type of vegetable that is consumed fresh as well as frozen canned, tomato paste, ketchup, pickles, sauce, dried tomatoes, tomato juice, puree, and chopped (Günay, 2005). The high economic value of tomatoes has made it the subject of many researchers from cultivation to breeding. It is known that there is a constantly changing market in tomato breeding in Turkey and in the world. The main purpose of tomato production is yield and quality. For this, high genetic
