Thirty-eight pomegranate genotypes were evaluated to assess the components of genetic variability with respect to growth, fruit yield and quality traits. Considerable variability was observed in these characters. Number of fruits and fruit yield per plant and fruit weight were observed to be highly heritable traits which also showed large magnitude of genetic advance. Thus these characters should respond favorably to simple selection procedures in cultivar improvement attempts. Out of nine popular pomegranate varieties, Jalore Seedless, G 137 and Ganesh were observed to be superior with regards to fruit yield and Mridula excelled in fruit quality, indicates promise for cultivation. However, all the nine commercial types were prone to fruit cracking (30 - 90 %). This study suggest for systematic improvement in pomegranate not only for high quality fruit yield but also free from fruit cracking under hot arid environment. Not Available |
