Study of fruiting and yield on different genotypes of custard apple

Abstract

The present investigation was carried out to studies on fruiting and yield attribute characters of different genotypes of custard apple (Annona squamosa L.) during Kharif season. The results of the study indicated that, fruiting and yield attribute character studied among different genotypes maximum no. of fruits per shoot (32.74), fruit set per cent (21.37 %), fruit retention per cent (85.53 %), number of fruit per tree (198.38) and fruit yield (27.59 kg/tree) while minimum fruit drop per cent (14.48 %) was observed in GJCA-1. However, days to fruit set (3.80) and fruit weight (148.00 g) were recorded foremost in Sindhan.
