| Abstract:
An experiment was conducted during the year 2005 to evaluate eleven newly developed guava hybrids/selections for vegetative growth, yield and qualitative attributes for their suitability under north Indian conditions. Among the eleven cultivars evaluated, tree height, stem circumference and canopy spread were maximum in Hybrid-21. The individual fruit weight was highest in cv. Shweta (CISH-G-4), while fruit yield was maximum in Lalit. Maximum TSS (oB), total sugar and reducing sugar contents and minimum acidity were recorded in Hisar Surkha. Similarly, ascorbic acid content was highest in cultivar Shweta (CISH-G-4). On the basis of preliminary evaluation, it was observed that the cultivars, Shweta (CISH-G-4), Hisar Surkha, Lalit and Sangam performed better under our conditions in comparisons to other tested cultivars. | |
