Abstract


A growth analysis study in tomato was carried out with three female parents, three male parents and their nine hybrids. The observations recorded were, hiological yield, economic yield, harvest index and fruit yiald. All the hybrids involving IM 39 as the male parent recorded higher biological yields, Increased economic yleid, nar-vest index and fruit yield were observed in the hybrids, LE 719 X LE 573 was the most outstanding hybrid with higher harvest index, economic yield and fruit yield. LE 718, LE 573 and IM 39 were identified as Potential parents for heterosis breeding in tomato based on harvest index and economic yield.
