Abstract:
The present experiment was carried out during September 2020 to March 2021 in polyhouse, Nursery (Block 1), ICAR - Central Institute of Subtropical Horticulture (CISH), Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design (RBD), with 18 treatments, replicated thrice with nutrient film technique hydroponic system. The present investigation was carried out to find out the best cultivar (Red Gold, Borgeese, Cherry Tomato Yellow, Nagmoti, Hybrid F1, Red Little Marble) and training system (Single stem training, Double stem training and Natural (no training) growth) under hydroponics. The double stem training system was best for more traits except, days to first flowering, days to 50% flowering, number of flowers per cluster, number of clusters per plant, number of fruits per plant which were best under natural growth. From the present experimental findings, it is found that treatments, Red Little Marvel and Cherry Tomato Yellow with double stem training system was superior in both growth, yield and quality traits.
