Abstract

Genetic inferences on the performance of five tomato cultivars (Ângela I.5100, Floradade, IPA-05, Jumbo AG-592 and Santa Clara) and their p(p - 1)/2 hybrids for production characteristics and fruit quality were obtained through Hayman's methodology (1954). The results showed a favorable situation for breeding to production characteristics, but not for content of soluble solids, total carotenoids, and content of betacarotene. The data evidenced low variability in the cultivars studied.
