Estimates of chemical characteristics of bael (Aegle marmelos Correa) genotypes under SODIC soil

Abstract

The present investigation entitled “Estimates of chemical characterstics of bael (Aegle marmelos Correa) genotypes under sodic soil.” was carried out at the Main Experiment Station, Department of Horticulture, Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, Narendra Nagar (Kumarganj), Faizabad (U.P.) during the years 2016-2017. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design with twelve genotypes and replicated three times, considering one plant as a unit. On the basis of chemical attributes of bael fruit viz. Minimum acidity(0.29%) found in ND/AH-25, total soluble solids (39.00) in ND/AH-10, are found is best in ND/AH-8. Maximum total sugars (16.02%) are recorded best in ND/AH-27. Highest non-reducing sugar (10.02%) is recorded best in ND/AH-21. Minimum ascorbic acid (30.96mg/100g) is recorded best in ND/AH-26. The highest reducing sugar (7.07%) is recorded best in ND/AH-9.
