Genetic evaluation of twenty five diverse genotypes tomato was conducted for yield and quality traits at the experimental farm of RHR&TS, Jachh, Kangra, Dr YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan, Himachal Pradesh during the year 2018. These genotypes were comprised of eleven varieties, ten exotic lines and three local collections along with one standard check Solan Lalima. Experiment was conducted in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications to ascertain extent of variability, heritability, genetic advance and gain for yield and other horticultural traits. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences among all the genotypes for all the characters under study. The estimates of PCV and GCV were high for marketable fruit yield per plant, number of locules per fruit, average fruit weight, harvest duration, shelf life and number of fruits per cluster. High heritability estimates were observed for all the traits among all genotypes while high estimates of genetic gain were observed for marketable fruit yield per plant, average fruit weight, harvest duration, shelf life, number of fruits per cluster, number of locules per fruit, number of fruits per plant, fruit breadth, pericarp thickness, number of fruit cluster per plant, fruit length and plant height. On the basis of overall performance, EC-802557, LC-2 and Arka Alok were found superior for marketable fruit yield and other important horticultural traits. They could be the promising parents for utilization in further breeding programmes.
