Grouping of jamun genotypes based on fruit quality parameters

Abstract

An experiment was conducted during 2017 and 2018 to study the jamun genotypes based on fruit quality parameters. Results indicated that, genotype ‘Konkan Bahadoli’ showing maximum fruit length (3.55 cm), fruit width (2.5 cm), and fruit weight (13.16g). Lowest recorded in ‘Dharwad-12’. The genotype ‘konkan Bahadoli’ given maximum seed length (2.5cm), width (1.5cm) and weight (3.05 g), it can be used in seed industry. The highest TSS content (28.2°Brix) in ‘Dharwad-3a’ and lowest (14.5°Brix) was recorded in Patna. The genotype ‘Selection-58’ was recorded lowest titratable acidity content (0.82%), whereas the highest acidity content (3.52 %) in ‘Dharwad-12’. Among the genotypes, ‘Kaithanal’, ‘Dharwad-4’, ‘Dharwad -8’, ‘IC-715’was showing the distinctive from other genotypes in cluster analysis with respect to biochemical parameters.
