ABSTRACT
Present investigation was carried out during summer and late kharif seasons of 2014 to study the genetic variability and diversity for quantitative traits in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) with thirty-six genotypes in Randomized block design. Considerable amount of variability was noticed for the sixteen and nineteen quantitative characters in summer and late kharif seasons respectively as indicated by the analysis of variance. High GCV and PCV, high heritability with high genetic advance as per cent mean was observed for most of the yield attributing characters in both seasons. Mahalanobis D2 analysis revealed that thirty six genotypes are divided into seven groups in both seasons. In summer cluster-I (21genotypes) and in late kharif Cluster-II had highest number of genotypes. Fruit volume and fruit length contributed more towards total genetic divergence in summer and late kharif season respectively. It appears to be containing most potential genotypes and these can be utilized in further crop improvement programme.
