Off-Season Performance of Tomato Hybrids Cultivation Under Natural Ventilated Polyhouse Conditions in Northern Plains of India
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Poly house cultivation of tomato increases in Northern plains due to high prices of raw tomato in winters in North India. It encourages tomato growers to maximize the production with suitable cultivars. Keeping in view the experiments was planned to study the off-season performance of tomato hybrids cultivation under natural ventilated poly house conditions in northern plains of India at experimental field of Agri. Centre of Excellence, Field fresh Foods Pvt. Ltd, Ludhiana Punjab during the winters of 2016 (30097’ latitude and 750 79’ longitudes). In present investigation, the two hybrid cultivars of tomato were taken (KPS-1154 and San Marzano cv. UG-8122) to analyze their performance in off-season under covered structure. It was observed during analysis that San Marzano (cv. UG-8122) was the earliest to flower (35 days) in comparison to the KPS-1154 hybrids who take 41 day to flowering. San Marzano (cv. UG-8122) had the potential of setting maximum fruits per plant (41.3) followed by Tomato KPS-1154 (36.7). San Marzano (cv. UG- 8122) recorded the maximum yield of 4557g/plant and was much more variation with other tomato hybrids KPS-1154 (3215g/plant) and have the potential to be cultivated under protected conditions of Punjab. The cultivars UG-8122 (San Marzano) performed very well in winter seasons as well as in much warm temperature about 50-55 0C in poly house condition. Polyhouse tomatoes had better colour and appearance and have potential for better performance and higher fruit yield with better return.
