Abstract


Investigations on the growth analysis of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill) invalved nine hybrids and their six parents Heterosis over the best parent was racordard for all the characters observed. The hybrids involving IM 39 as mala parant had higher hundrad sood weight, fresh weight, and dry weight of the seedlings and a relationship was evident between these charac ters and fruit vield Germination percentage, germination energy and germination index were of larger magniture in hybride when compared to their parents. The hybrid LE 719 x Co 2 had the highest germination por cantago (28.642) and germination Index (397), the parameters. namely, germination, germination energy and germination Index did not, however, have any association with the yield,
