AGRONOMIC CHARACTERIZATION OF SIX TOMATO GENOTYPES IN TOGO

The study was carried out to determine the agronomic performance of height tomato genotypes. These genotypes were evaluated in a completely random block design with 4 replications. Analyses of variance and means comparison (P≤5%) revealed that he germination rate of genotypes was greater than 80% except for TLCV 15 (24%). The number of leaf per plant ranged from 11.62 to 15.73. The largest size was obtained by IVF 328 with 66.34 cm in height and the smallest size was obtained by the TLCV 15 with 51.46 cm. The yield results showed that IVF 328 and Mongal F1 were better with 26.28 tons/ha and 26.07 tons/ha respectively. Regarding the number of fruit per plant, IVF 328 and IVF 5248 were more productive. Analysis of variance showed that the fruit weightwas significantly higher for the Mongal F1 and lower for the TLCV 15. The results obtained will help in decision making toward the production of these genotypes in Togo, thereby improving tomato production.
