| Description |
The present investigation entitled “Studies on physico-chemical evaluation of tamarind (Tamarindus indica L.) genotypes prevailing in Bastar region of Chhattisgarh” was carried out in the laboratory, Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, IGAU, Raipur (C.G.) during the year 2004-05 and 2005-06. The study was carried out with 16 treatments (genotypes) consist of ripe fruits collected from selected trees of tamarind exist in Tokapal and Jagdalpur block of Bastar district (C.G.) under Randomized Block Design with three replications. Among the genotypes evaluated IGTAM-15 was found superior than all the other genotypes included in the study with respect to TSS, reducing sugar, total sugar, protein and minerals i.e., Mg, Cu, Fe, Ca, P, K and Na content in pulp as well as in seed. The highest fruit weight and pulp weight both were recorded by IGTAM-14 which was found remarkably superior than all the other genotypes included in this study. Whereas, the highest pulp per cent, non-reducing sugar and crude fibre was observed in IGTAM-1. The longest fruit as well as the highest seed weight, seed per cent & number of seeds in the fruit were recorded in IGTAM-16. The highest acidity (tartaric acid) was noticed in IGTAM-6, while the highest percentage of ascorbic acid content and the highest fruit thickness both were recorded in IGTAM-11. On the basis of findings of the present study, it is concluded that the tamarind genotypes i.e., IGTAM-15, IGTAM-14, IGTAM-16, IGTAM-1 and IGTAM-6, which were found best for higher pulp, sugar, minerals and acidity content in the fruit as well as for individual fruit weight among all the genotypes studied in this investigation. Hence, these genotypes can be considered for further improvement of tamarind crop. |
