- Observation Marked heterosis was observed in many tomato crosses for all characters examined.
- Association Heterosis effects in tomato were more pronounced for early yield than for total yield.
- Observation Cross Kuber × HB 5 possessed the maximum desirable characters among the tomato hybrids, with potential for commercial exploitation.
- Observation Cross Angoorlata × HB 5 was promising for both early and total yield in tomato.
