Key characters of varieties and hybrids under MLTs of ICAR-AICRP on Fruits

Abstract

The ICAR-All India Coordinated Research Project on Fruits envisages to test the technology visibility through Multi Location Trials (MLTs). Since inception of the project many of the varieties/hybrids are submitted for MLTs for performance testing of the genotypes over environments so that the suitable varieties/hybrids are identified and released for suitable locations. During the years, considerable data and information was generated by conducting the trials implemented in assessing the performance of new varieties/hybrids compared to a popular local check in different agro-ecological zones/states. However, there is no easy retrievable document of the data and information to make available for the researchers working on fruit crops in the NARS system. Therefore, this CD-ROM is an attempt to fill the gap and compile all the data and information regarding ‘key characters’ of varieties/hybrids of all the entries of the mandated crops (banana, Citrus, grapes, guava, jackfruit, mango, papaya and sapota) submitted for the MLTs under the ICAR-AICRP on Fruits. This compilation is made possible because of the support of the project scientific staff, officer in-charges, nodal officers, the crop coordinators, and project staff at the Project Coordinator’s unit.
