Abstract

A field experiment entitled “Evaluation of Cherry tomato genotypes for yield and quality in polyhouse in Prayagraj agro-climatic condition [Solanum Lycopersicum (L.) var. cerasiforme Mill.]” was conducted from Sept, 2022 to March, 2023 at Horticulture Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. The investigation was carried out to find out the best cultivar amongst (Yellow Cherry Tomato-round shape, Cherry Red-round shape, Nagmoti, Cherry Red-plum shape, Yellow Cherry Tomato-Pear shape and Pusa Cherry-1) .In all cultivars Pusa Cherry -1 was found the best in overall growth, yield and economic parameters like days of 1st flowering, no. of flower per cluster, no. of fruit per cluster, no. of fruits per plant, total yield, high cost benefit ratio. Among all the varieties highest total yield was found in Pusa cherry-1 (142.9q/ha) whereas lowest in Yellow pear cherry tomato (74.6q/ha). The highest gross return (283883 Rs/ha) and cost benefit ratio (2.133) were obtained from Pusa Cherry-1. Considering the experimental findings variety Pusa Cherry -1 was found to be the most suitable for higher productivity and economic return under Prayagraj agro-climatic conditions.
