Abstract

Irrigated dry season tomato production is widely practiced at Fogera district and its surrounding areas. However, the production does not meet farmers demand because of they use obsolete tomato varieties: Chochero and Roma F, which are becoming poor performances now a days. Besides, farmers in the areas have information gap on the availability of other improved tomato varieties. It was therefore conducted an experiment to evaluate the performance of improved tomato varieties in an open field using irrigation in dry season with the aim of identifying superior varieties with high productivity and good quality of fruits. Eleven tomato varieties were laid down in randomized complete block design with three replications at Fogera research station in dry seasons of 2018 and 2019. The combined mean analysis of variances (ANOVA) results showed highly significant (P < 0.01) effects of varieties and years but insignificant (P < 0.05) interaction effect of varieties with years for most traits considered. From the overall mean analysis results, ARPd2 tomato was best-performed variety with the highest yield and good desirable traits. Congruently, Chali, Gelelima, and Fetan varieties were also produced high yield with bigger fruit sizes. However, the result of the present investigation was only in a research station without farmer’s participation. Therefore, it is recommended that varieties ARPd2 tomato, Chali, Gelelima, and Fetan needs further validation study on different farmers’ fields with their active participate at Fogera and its surroundings to determine their stability and farmers preference.
