Abstract

Present investigation was carried out on peach new introductions, namely, ‘Glohaven’, ‘Suncrest’, ‘Early Elberta’ and ‘July Elberta’ during 2010 and 2011 and suitability of these introductions under sub-temperate regions of Himachal Pradesh was studied. The maximum scion girth (39.93 cm) in ‘July Elberta’, shoot length (84.77 cm) in ‘Glohaven’ and leaf area (54.09 cm2) in ‘Early Elberta’ were recorded. The highest yield (38.02 kg/ tree) was observed in ‘Early Elberta’. However, the better quality fruits with respect to highest TSS, acidity, reducing sugars and ascorbic acid content were produced by ‘Glohaven’.
