| Abstract:
Allahabad Safeda is a well known guava cultivar and is recommended for cultivation in throughout India. In agroclimatic conditions of Chhattisgarh, the fruit growth of Allahabad Safeda in terms of length and width was maximal during 30-60 days, while in terms of weight and volume the highest growth period was 60-90 days from fruit set. The TSS shows increasing trend during whole growth period and maximum (14.93 per cent) on 150 days. The ratio of TSS and acidity initially increased up to 90 days and then reduced up to 120 days. This ratio again increased during the period of 120-150 days of fruit growth. Ascorbic acid content was recorded very low (15.4 mg/100g) at initial stage of fruit growth and highest (270.80 mg/100 g) on 150 days. | |
