Evaluation of cherry tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L. var. cerasiforme) genotypes for yield and quality parameters

An experiment entitled Evaluation of cherry tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L. var. cerasiforme) genotypes for yield and quality parameters was conducted in the Department of Vegetable Science, College of Horticulture, Bengaluru, Karnataka during the year 2018-19. In present study, twenty one cherry tomato genotypes were evaluated for yield and quality parameters. Among different cherry tomato genotypes, maximum number of fruits per cluster was recorded in COHBT (8.75). Genotype COHBT-198 recorded maximum average fruit weight (43.90 g). The maximum fruit yield per plant was recorded in genotype COHBT-198(2.30 kg). COHBT-70genotype recorded maximum total soluble solids (8.55 ˚Brix) and minimum acidity was recorded in COHBT-31 (0.30%). Among all genotypes pericarp thickness varied between 2.50mmand 5.50 mm.

It is a warm season crop reasonably tolerant to heat and drought andTomato (Solanum lycopresicum L.) is one of grows under wide range of soil and climaticthe most important solanaceous vegetable conditions. (Anon., 2009a)crops grown widely all over the world and isnative to South America (Rick, 1969). Cherry tomato is grown for its edible fruitsBotanically cherry tomato is called Solanum which can be consumed either fresh as a saladlycopersicum var. cerasiforme having of after cooking as snacks. They are perfectchromosome number 2n=24. It is thought to for making processed products like sauce,be the ancestor of all cultivated tomatoes.
