AGRONOMIC AND QUALITY EVALUATION OF SOME TOMATO GENOTYPES UNDER LATE SHORT GROWING SEASON CONDITIONS

In a tropical derived savanna under rainfed conditions, seven gcnotypics of exotic and local tomatoes were tested for late short growing season in a tropical derived savanna.

In terms of total vegetative growth and development, Roma VF, Rossol VFN, and Nsukka local seemed to be the most adapted. Rossol VFN and Roma VF had the highest percentage fruit set, while Nsukka local, Rossol VFN, Roma, and Ibadan local had the highest overall fruit output. When compared to the two unimproved local choices, the alien genotypes had greater quality traits on average. In general, none of the geno tpes had a perfect combination of all the necessary traits. In order to create a properly adapted variety, the breeding effort should seek to combine the earliness and higher production potentials of Nsukka local with the improved fruit quality and other positive features of improved introductions.
