Abstract: The purpose of conducting present study was to evaluate the performance of different cross combinations of tomato for best parent heterosis and better parent heterosis regarding yield and yield related traits. For the parameters: No of fruits/plants, average Fruit weight, plant height and yield/plant. Some of the combinations showed significant positive better parent heterosis. No positive significant best parent heterosis was observed for the parameters like average Fruit weight. Significant better-parent heterosis was observed in some cross-combinations for the parameters: No of fruits/plants and yield/plant. Significant positive heterosis for yield/plant is great achievement in our study as yield/plant is the ultimate goal of tomato growers.
