Performance of bael (Aegle marmelos Corr.) cultivars under arid condition of Haryana
Keywords:
Arid conditions, Aegle marmelos, quality parameters, seed, yield attributesAbstract
The study was conducted in the experimental orchard, Regional Research Station, Bawal. Bael varieties viz., NB 5, NB 9, NB 17, CISH 1, CISH 2, NB 16, Pant Aparna and Pant Sujata were evaluated for growth, yield, pulp/seed characteristics and quality parameters and recorded significant variation. Among the growth parameters CISH 2 showed dwarfing plant as compared to other cultivars. Fruit drop, fruit cracking and fruit weight were observed less in NB 5, however, number of fruits and yield were recorded highest in NB 17. Number of seed sacks and seeds per fruit were lowest in NB 16. Test weight and seed weight per fruit were highest in NB 5. TSS was recorded highest in NB 1, ascorbic acid and chlorophyll content was recorded highest in CISH 2, but acidity in Pant Sujata.
