Abstract: In present study, the experimental material consisted of 12 diverse lines of tomato and one standard check (Shalimar Tomato Hybrid-2). Sixty-six F₁ crosses were generated form these twelve diverse lines through 12 x 12 diallel mating design during the kharif season, 2020. The 12 parents and 66 F1crosses along with the check were evaluated in Randomized Block Design during the kharif season, 2021 at three locations to elicit information on heterosis. Heterosis was estimated over the standard check viz., Shalimar Hybrid-2 for each trait. The results revealed the wide range of heterotic patterns for different traits. SKAU-T-914108 x SKAU-T-164334, SKAU-T-914108 x SKAU-T-617047, SKAU-T-914106 x SKAU-T-617047 and SKAU-T-914103 x SKAU-T-620438 were found best cross combinations on the basis of heterosis.
