Abstract
In the present investigation, nineteen tomato cultivars were studied at vegetable programme HRI, NARC, Islamabad to evaluate the performance of these cultivars and data were chronicled on number of fruits per plant, fruit weight per plant (kg), length of fruits (cm), diameter of fruits (cm), pericarp thickness (mm), number of locules per plant and yield (t/h). The experiment was set up in a randomized complete block design with three replicates. Highest number of fruits per plant was recorder in Nagina (40.87) trailed by Punjab Chuhara (27.58) and Ratan (26.29). Avinash II attained top most position with respect to fruit diameter (5.20 cm) followed by Feston (4.86 cm) and Punjab Chuhara (4.32 cm). Significantly highest pericarp thickness was found in Riogrande (0.72 mm) followed by Nagina (6.56 mm) and Avinash II (0.46 mm). The best output regarding yield was obtained by the cultivar Nagina (61.95 t/ha) accompanied by Punjab Chuhara (37.33 t/ha) and Ratan (34.04 t/ha).
