    Varietal evaluation of ber (Zizyphus mauritiana Lamk.) for yield and fruits quality attributes under Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2022-08-22) Kumar, Dharmendra
    The present investigation entitled “Varietal evaluation of ber (Zizyphus mauritiana Lamk.) for yield and fruits quality attributes under Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh’’ was conducted at Instruction farm, college of Horticulture, Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda (U.P.) during the year 2021-22. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with 10 treatments and 3 replications. Evaluated varieties were studied yield and fruits quality attributes. Significant difference was recorded among different varieties for yield as well as physico-chemical characters. The variability was recorded in fruit shape (ovate oblong, oblong, ovate and round), fruit colour (green, yellow green, golden yellow and green) and pulp colour (creamy white and creamy). The yield attributes variability was observed in fruit length (3.40- 5.72 cm), fruit width (2.13- 4.20 cm), fruit weight (20.27- 48.33 g), fruit volume (21.21- 49.25 cc), stone length (1.59- 2.80 cm), stone width (0.86- 2.07 cm), stone weight (1.41- 2.83 g), pulp weight (16.22- 44.24 g), pulp and stone ratio (11.31- 15.61) and specific gravity (0.95- 0.98). The quality attributes parameter also showed wide range of variation i.e., TSS (10.61- 16.62 0Brix), ascorbic acid (80.5- 115.33 mg/100g), reducing sugars (4.05- 7.11 %), non-reducing sugars (3.90- 4.75 %), total sugars (7.95- 11.86 %), acidity (0.32- 0.75 %), protein (0.40- 0.70 %) and pH (3.0- 5.0). Therefore, on the basis of quality attribute among the different evaluation; the variety T7 (Kaithali), T2 (Umran) and T3 (Banarasi Karaka) found to be superior. These promising varieties can be recommended for commercial cultivation at farmer‟s field.
