Abstract
Tomato is one of the most widely grown vegetable crops in the world.
One of the most important challenges in tomato production is to combat pests and diseases which are reducing yield and quality of the crop.
In this research, 50 local genotypes which were collected from different provinces of Turkey were assessed for yield, morphological variation and some quality traits.
The genotypes were planted in a greenhouse at the Bati Akdeniz Agricultural Research Institute, during the spring and autumn growing seasons in the years 2016 and 2017. The local tomato genotypes were evaluated on the basis of plant growth type, flowering earliness, fruit width, fruit length, fruit shape, fruit fasciation, color of mature and immature fruit, number of locules, puffiness, Brix value and yield per plant.
Twenty cultivars showed a great adaptation and had a yield per plant between 225 and 1887 (g), fruit weight (at maturity) between 15 and 418 (g), a brix value between 2.55 and 5.45, semi and indeterminate growth type and different fruit shapes.
