Ten tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) hybrids obtained from Budhlada and Patiala Market were evaluated for fourteen morphological and eight qualitative characters in polyhouse at department of agriculture, Guru Nanak College, Budhlada during Kharif 2021-22. The experiment was conducted in RBD with three replications. The Analysis of variance revealed significant difference among the hybrid for all the traits under study, which indicated the existence of ample genetic variability among the hybrids. Days to flowering and days to days to first fruiting were observed early in the Himshikher and NS 4266 hybrids. Highest fruit length and fruit diameter was observed by Abhinav and Himshikher, respectively. The maximum fruit yield per plant was exhibited in Himshikher hybrid, Polyana and Lakshmi under protected cultivation.

It can be concluded that wide range of genetic variability exist in present set of genetic material. Thus there is abundant scope for selection of promising hybrids. Among the hybrids/ hybrids namely Himshikher, Polyana and Lakshmi were identified higher yielder under protected cultivation.
