Abstract
Thirteen tomato hybrids were developed and tested for yield and bacterial wilt resistance during 2003-2006 at Olericulture Unit, Department of Horticulture, UAS, Dharwad. The data revealed that the hybrid Arka Alok x SP-2-2 was recorded highest yield (59.07t/ha), followed by Arka Alok x L-101 (53.72 t/ha) and Sonali x SP-2-2 (51.87 t/ha) in an averaged over period of four years and also during all the year of experimentation. The same hybrids (Arka Alok x SP-2-2, Arka x L-101 & Sonali x SP-2-2) were free from bacterial wilt incidence (zero incidence) and they recorded 2.65,2.45,and 2.29kgs of fruits per plant respectively. Therefore these hybrids can be commercially exploited.
