Assessment reveals high heritability for yield traits in tomatoes, indicating effective selection methods for improving production in Burkina Faso.

High heritability for yield traits in tomato indicates less environmental influence on these characteristics.
Significant genetic variability for total number of fruits and individual fruit weight suggests effective selection strategies.
Thirty hybrids and six parents were evaluated in a randomized design, with traits measured over a year-long study.
Exploration of additive gene action indicates potential for improving yield through simple phenotype observation and recurrent selection.

Omar et al. (2025) studied this question.
