An experiment was conducted to find out the general and specific combining abilities of ten lines and two testers in tomato. Among the lines, EC-620410 was found good general combiner for days to 50% flowering and fruit shape index (P/E), BT-1-1 had maximum GCA for number of fruits per cluster, average fruit weight, fruit yield per plant, harvest duration, total soluble solids and ascorbic acid content and lesser severity of Alternaria, whereas, among the testers, FT-5 was good general combiner for most of the traits except for average fruit weight, number of locules per fruits and plant height. |
