The aim of this paper was to evaluate the performance of lines of cherry tomato, heat tolerant under the organic system. The experiment was conducted at the Instituto de Ciências Agrárias da UFMG, Montes Claros - MG. The treatments consisted of eleven lines of cherry tomato, heat tolerant, obtained from the Asian Vegetable Research and Development Center, China: CLN1561A, CLN1555C, CLN1555B, CLN1555A, CLN1558B, CLN1558A, CH151, CH152, CH154, CH157, CH155 cultivated under organic system. We used a randomized block design with eleven treatments and four replications. There was an inverse relationship between the average fruit weight and number of fruits produced per plant. The lines CLN1561A and CH157 are indicated for the culture and commercialization of the cherry tomato organically produced, therefore to present greater productivity and greater total soluble solid content.
