Stability Analysis for Fruit Yield and its Components in Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) under Acidic Soils of Manipur Valley

Twenty nine promising genotypes of Tomato were grown in five different environments to study phenotypic stability for fruit yield and its components. The study revealed that the genotype BRH-2 followed by the genotype Arka Vikas can be utilized to develop promising lines having wider adaptability in future breeding programmes. Among the environments it was found that the pre- winter sowing ,that is, sowing in September was favourable for the characters like days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height, number of primary branches per plant and fruit weight. However, sowing of tomato in November favoured characters like number of fruits per plant, size of fruit and fruit yield per plant.
