Description Pear is a delicious pome fruit with good taste and pleasant aroma. It has good nutritional value with sufficient, amount of minerals and vitamins. Pears are grown extensively in countries like France, Germany, England, Italy, Russia, USA, Japan, Australia etc. The domestic European pear (P. communis L.) like apple has been selected, improved, and cultured since the prehistoric times and has possibly been derived from the relatively large. fruited wild species P. caucasia Fed. and P. nivalis Jacq. The world production of pear (pyrus communis L.) and other species is about a third of the world's apple production. In 1994 with a production of 10935 thousand tonnes, pear ranked third among the temperate fruits, India's contribution being a meagre 84 thousand tonnes (FAO, 1994). In India there are scattered plantation of acclimatised cultivars of P. communis and its hybrids with other species, in the states like punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir and sub-mountain tracts of Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. Indeed the pears exhibit a fair degree of developmental homeostasis by virtue of their being adapted to diverse climatic conditions of extreme cold, drought and higher summer temperatures. The hardy nature of this fruit crop helps it in flourishing on lands with a poor fertility status and soils with temporary water logged conditions where most other fruit trees are outright failure. Obviously, therefore, low chilling cultivars of pear are also grown fairly extensively in the subtropical regions in India.
