Jackfruit, the largest known edible fruit bearing tree, is one of the important
fruit crops of India. It exhibits wide range of diversity with respect to fruit
character and bulb quality. It is an important component of homestead garden
because of its multifarious uses (dessert, vegetable and pickle) and high nutritive
value. In spite of high food value and market potential, jackfruit is one
of the poorly researched crops and there is a dearth of information about its
phenology. The present study defines phenological stages of jackfruit according
to the extended BBCH (Biologische Bundesantalt, Bundessortenamt und
Chemische Industrie) scale using three-digit numerical system. Eight principal
growth stages, namely bud development (stage 0), shoot development (stage 1),
leaf development (stage 3), specialised reproductive shoot development (stage
4), reproductive development (stage 5), flowering (stage 6), fruit development
(stage 7) and fruit maturation (stage 8) have been described. A total of 42 secondary
growth stages have been described and defined. In this study, bearing
and non-bearing footstalks as well as male and female phases have been defined
separately. The study will act as an effective tool for providing a consensual
unified approach for standardisation of phenophases, as well as for efficient
orchard management for ensuring higher yield and fruit quality. The scale may
also be effectively used for characterisation and adaptation of germplasm and
assessment of climatic impact on crop phenology.
