Abstract
An experiment was conducted at Agronomy Farm of the Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka to study growth and yield responses of tomato varieties. Experiment consisted of four varieties, viz. BARI Tomato-4 (V1), BARI Tomato-5 (V2), BARI Tomato-7 (V3) and BARI Tomato-9 (V4) using Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Tallest plant (101.3 cm), maximum number of leaves (114.1/plant) and maximum number of branches (10.0/plant) was found from BARI Tomato-7. While maximum number of flowers (6.1/cluster), number of fruits (5.0/cluster), number of clusters (17.9/plant) were found from BARI Tomato-9. However, maximum fruit diameter (20.1 cm), individual fruit weight (115.9 g), yield (34.7 kg/plot and 95.9 t/ha), number of locule (4.4/fruit) were also found from BARI Tomato-7. Virus infestation, fruit length and Total soluble solid (TSS) were statistically identical among the varieties.
