Abstract
Correlation studies on 12 varieties of tomato, between the character for plant height, and four other economic characters, contributing to high yield potential viz. earliness ( initiation of flowering), and number of inflorescence nodes, flowers and fruits per plant, have revealed that increase in the plant height results into delayed maturity and increased yield. Under the peculiar agroclimatic conditions of mild and short winter season in Sind, the varieties Lyalipur Selected IV, Pink Oral and Red Top are highly promising and outstanding. These varieties may be therefore, exploited further in the breeding programmes.
