Summary
Twenty cultivars and genotypes of tomato were evaluated for yield and its components for four years during the rabi seasons of 1994-97 in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India. Genotype x environment (G x E) interactions were significant for plant height, fruits per cluster, average fruit weight and yield. G x E (linear) interactions were significant for plant height and yield indicating that both linear as well as non-linear components were important. Considering the overall performance DVRT-1, DVRT-2, Sel-7, H-36 and Sel-10 were promising with stable performance for yield and other characters. The lines DVRT-1 and DVRT-2 were the highest yielding genotypes with good stability and also exhibited higher performance for plant height, fruits per cluster, fruit size and average fruit weight. These lines can be recommended for general cultivation and can also be utilized in breeding programmes to incorporate stability.
