Notwithstanding the importance of tomato in human diet, the average yield of the crop in Africa hardily exceeds 7.5 tha-1. There is continuous unavailability of high yielding cultivars that are adapted to diverse environment and suitable for different purposes. Consequently, evaluation of introduced tomato genotypes for desired horticultural characteristics to identify superior genotypes for additional improvement in yield and yield related traits is indispensible. Hence eight tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) genotypes including parental were field planted in a randomized complete block design with three replications at the Department of Horticulture Nursery Unit, School of Natural resources Management, Njala University, Njala Campus, Moyamba District, Southern Sierra Leone to evaluate them for good horticultural traits. Data collected include plant height at 50% and 100% flowering, stem girth at 50% and 100% flowering, days to first, 50% and 100% flowering, days to maturity, number of fruits set per plant, number of fruits harvested per plant, average fruit weights, fruit length, fruit diameter, fruit flesh thickness, locule number, marketable and nonmarketable fruits per plant. Results from the study indicated that all genotypes studied are adaptable to the Sierra Leone climatic conditions. P1 (097) recorded the highest number of fruits set per plant, number of fruits harvested per plant and tallest and largest plant height and stem girth at 100% flowering. BC2F2 had the highest locule number while R3P9 had the heaviest fruit weight. P2 (213) had the thickest fruit flesh thickness and longest duration to fruit maturity respectively while P1 (097), BC1F2 and R3P9 had the same number of shortest days to maturity. Regarding fruit length and diameter, R3P8 and R6P6 had the longest and widest. With respects to marketable and nonmarketable fruit per plant, P1 (097) recorded the highest correspondingly.

This study was carried out at Subarna Agro-Based Initiative’s (SABI) field, Noakhali, Bangladesh during the period of Rabi Season, 2018. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the growth and yield performances of okra in different types of organic fertilizers and to identify the possible fertilizer treatment which enhances both growth and yield of okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Monech] .BARI Okra-1 was taken for the study. A Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) was used and there were 4 treatments namely; Farm Yard Manure (T1), Vermi-Compost (T2), FYM + Vermi-Compost (T3) and Integrated Nutrient Management (T4) were replicated three times. Plant height (cm), number of leaves, total flower, total number of fruits, fruit length (cm) and fruit weight (g) data were taken as parameters on the growth and yield of the plant. Though fruit weight was observed higher for the effect of T3 (72.78 g) but in case of Integrated Nutrient Management (T4) the other characters such as plant height, number of leaves, total flowers, total number of fruits, fruit length were observed higher. The T4 showed a comparatively better result of growth and yield than other treatments. This study clearly indicated that Integrated Nutrient Management which contains the micronutrients with minimum inorganic and organic manure may be a potential source for better growth and high yield in okra.

Twenty genotypes of tomato were assessed for their genetic divergence using Mahalanobis D2statistics. Based on D2 values of eleven yield related characters, genotypes were grouped in to five clusters. Maximum genotypes were grouped in cluster II (6) followed by cluster IV (5) the remaining 9 genotypes were distributed in three clusters, four in cluster III, three in cluster I and two genotypes in cluster V. Clustering pattern indicated that there was no association between geographical distribution of genotypes and genetic divergence. The mean intra and inter cluster distance (D) revealed that cluster I had highest intra cluster distance (0.979), while the inter cluster distance was maximum between cluster III and I (13.546) followed by III and V (11.218). The characters like plant height, fruit weight, fruits per plant contributed maximum to genetic divergence.J. Bangladesh Agril. Univ. 13(1): 61-64, June 2015

Correlations and path coefficient were studied in 39 exotic tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) genotypes for nine yield contributing characters. The correlation coefficients were determined to find out the inter relationship among the characters studied. Yield per plant was found highly significant and positively correlated with flowers per plant, fruits per plant, fruit length, fruit diameter and individual fruit weight which indicated that yield could be increased by improving a traits. In order to obtain a clear picture of the inter relationship between yield per plant and its components, direct and indirect effects were measured using path coefficient analysis. Fruits per plant showed the highest positive direct effect (0.980) on yield per plant followed by individual fruit weight (0.958). On the other hand, the highest negative direct effect on yield per plant showed by days to first flowering (-0.277) followed by fruit length (-0.141). The characters showed high direct effect on yield per plant indicated that direct selection for these traits might be effective and there is a possibility of improving yield per plant through selection based on these characters. Residual effect was considerably low (0.183) which indicated that characters included in this study explained almost all variability towards yield.
