Abstract

The present investigation was carried out during rabi seasons of 2013–14 and 2014–15 at Horticultural Research Station, Mondouri, Faculty of Horticulture, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Mohanpur, Nadia (West Bengal), India. The experiment consisted of four tomato varieties, namely, Pusa 120, Pant T 3, Arka Vikash and Pathar kuchi and five flower flushes of each variety. The experiment was laid out in two-factor randomized block design with three replications. Most of the characters were found to be statistically significant with respect to variety, flower flush and their interaction. The variety Pusa 120 under its third flush recorded highest fruit yield (4.23 kg/plant) followed by Pant T 3 variety.
