Tomato (Solanum lycopersicon Mill.) is an important vegetable crop
belongs to family solanaceae. It is well known and very popular
vegetable among farmers and grown successfully throughout the
world. It is used as vegetable and ripe fruits are also utilized
into salad, soups, pickles, sauce, ketchups etc. Yield of tomato
crop is primarily governed by the genetic makeup of the variety.
Thus, full genetic potential of the variety can be utilized through
recommended cultural practices. To develop the variety, existence
of significant heritable variability is of prime importance. Some
biometric techniques like variability, correlation and path
analysis provide information about the relative contribution of
various yield related traits. Genetic and phenotypic correlation
coefficients seek out the association between yield and yield
contributing traits in tomato. Thus, these biometric techniques
help in selection of superior plant genotypes for breeding
programme.
