Abstract

A Study was conducted using of tomato. Genetic diversity analysis following Mahalanobis's D2 statistics revealed considerable genetic diversity among 43 genotypes of tomato for all the twenty characters which was pertaining to growth, earliness, yield and quality. Appreciable diversity within and between the clusters was observed. Seven clusters were fanned from the D2 analysis using Tocher's method. Cluster I topped with maximum number of genotypes among cluster fanned, while maximum inter-cluster distance was observed between cluster in and VI followed by cluster V and VI.
