Abstract:

Correlation and path analysis were carried out in twenty three tomato genotypes for yield characters. The correlation coefficient studies showed that positive association of fruit yield per plant with plant height, number of primary branches per plant, number of fruits per plant, days to last harvest, fruit length, fruit width, average fruit weight, ascorbic acid, total soluble solids and lycopene content. Path coefficient showed that number of fruits per plant, average fruit weight, fruit width, ascorbic acid, total soluble solids and lycopene content had high positive direct effects on fruit yield per plant. Hence, these characters should be given more helpful in selection programme of high yielding genotypes in tomato.


Keywords: Tomato, Solanum lycopersicum, Correlation, Path coefficient, Fruit yield
