Abstract

This experiment entitled “Screening of Frost tolerant variety of ber under frost condition” was conducted during rabi season of 2021-22 at Asalpur Farm, S. K. N. College of Agriculture, Jobner. In this experiment 50 cultivars of ber were used for the identification of frost tolerant, medium tolerant and susceptible cultivars under semi-arid condition.
