Abstract: The experiment was done to evaluate the performance of forty genotypes of tomato in the experimental farm of college of horticulture, Department of vegetable science, Sri Konda Laxman Telangana State Horticultural University, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad, Telangana, during Kharif, 2017-18. Among the genotypes used for evaluation the genotype LA-3667 was the superior for yield and yield contributing characters i.e. fruit yield per plant (2.28 kg) and yield per hectare (85.96 tonnes). The genotype EC-313466 was found to be early as observed from the character days to first flowering (21.26 days) and days to 50% flowering (29 days). The genotype EC-631349 was significantly superior for plant height (191.56 cm), number of primary branches (9.83), number of fruits per plant (323.00) and ascorbic acid (59.43mg/100g). The accession EC-514013 was found to be superior for TSS (8.16 0Brix). Highest beta carotene content was found in Money maker (2.63mg/100g). The check variety Arka Meghali was found to be superior for lycopene content (6.12mg/100g) followed by Marutham (5.51mg/100g) and AVTO-1314 (4.97mg/100g).
