The present investigation was conducted during late kharif, 2013 at Horticulture Research Farm, RAK College of Agriculture, Sehore,(MP) to study growth, yield parameters on twelve hybrids of tomato. Design of experiment was RBD with three replications. Observation on traits related to plant morphology, maturity and yield component were recorded to develop, evaluate, identify and recommend high yielding hybrids of tomato. High estimates of PCV, GCV, heritability and genetic advance as percentage of mean were observed for fruit yield per hectare (q/ha), plant height at final picking, number of flower clusters per plant, fruit yield per plot (kg) and days to fruit initiation. Thus these characters appear to be more promising for considering genetic improvement and can be utilized for developing high yielding tomato hybrids. Fruit yield per plot (kg.) showed a significant positive correlation with fruit yield/ha (0.900), weight of fruit (g)(0.749), whereas Fruit yield (q/h) had the significant positive correlation with trait fruit yield/plant (kg)(0.905). Over all conclusions from present investigation that characters like plant height, number of flower clusters per plant, number of flowers per cluster and number of fruits at 115 DAT appeared to major yield components therefore phenotypic selection on these traits will result development better high yielding hybrid tomato. Out of 12 tomato hybrids studied hybrid namely US-618, SHANTUNA-2131, VIGRO, ANIRUDH, BHUMIKA, VS-440, H-86, LAXMI NP-5005, NBH-1, PUSA RUBI, PAHUJA-508, NTH-2530 are appeared to better ones as regards quality components.
