Summary

Four tomato varieties (Harvester, Pusa Early Dwarf, Ife No. 1 and Ibadan Local) were grown in three ecological zones of Western Nigeria, at a range of densities from 10,000 to 40,000 plants/ha. The highest yield of fruits was obtained at a plant population of 30,000 plants/ha. Pusa out-yielded the three other varieties. Fruit number per plant declined as plant density increased.
