A study was conducted focusing on evaluation of 10 tomato genotypes and their hybrids with a check variety based on twelve quantitative characters. Among the parents Pusa Ruby was recorded high mean value for plant height (118.44 cm), fruit volume (65.11 cm3), fruit weight (60.86 g) and yield per plant (1123.77g). Akshaya recorded high mean value for primary branches per plant (7.11 cm) and number of leaves per plant (72.67). Anagha was recorded highest mean value for number of flowering clusters per plant (7.56). Lowest mean value for days to 50% flowering (43.22) was shown by Kottayam local. Kuttichal local recorded high mean value for number of fruits per cluster (4.11), fruit length (4.68cm)and fruit girth (16.39cm). Vellayanivijay was recorded high number of fruits per plant (39.89). Among 21 hybrids L1T2 was recorded high mean value for plant height (91.52 cm), primary branches per plant (9.78) and number of leaves per plant (123.33).Lowest mean value for days to 50% flowering (43.00) was shown by L1T3. L4T2 was recorded high mean value for number of flowering clusters per plant (9.67), number of fruits per cluster (6.67) and number of fruits per plant (42.56). L6T3 was recorded highest mean value for fruit length (4.69 cm) and fruit volume (51.67cm3). L4T1 was recorded high mean value for yield per plant (1633.72 g) and fruit girth (16.26 cm). High mean value for fruit weight (69.84 g) was recorded by L6T2. All the genotypes differed significantly among themselves based on ANOVA for all the characters studied. Therefore, there is an ample scope for selection of promising genotypes.
