Thirty six hybrids generated from crossing twelve lines with three testers were studied along with parents for combining ability in tomato. The specific combining ability (SCA) was significant for all the characters, indicating the importance of both additive and non-additive genetic components. But it is found that there was predominance of non-additive genetic components for expression of different traits in the present set of materials. The most promising specific combiner for fruits per plant and pericarp thickness was H-86 x Kashi Amrit. Other cross combiner FLA7171 x Kashi Amrit best in locules per plant and Vitamin C .Hence, the present study was carried out to obtain information on combining ability involved in expressing the different characters in tomato.
