| dc.description.abstract | An experiment entitled ‘Evaluation of red fleshed guava (Psidium guajava L.) varieties for growth, yield, quality, shelf life and processing potential under northeastern transitional zone of Karnataka’was conducted at Department of Fruit Science, College of Horticulture, Bidar during 2017-18. The experiments were laid out in a randomized block design and observations on growth, yield, quality, shelf- life and processing potential of promising red fleshed guava varieties were evaluated. Among the different accessionsevaluated, the H-17-16 was found to be significantly superior in plant height (2.36 m) and number of quaternary branches (76.45).While, the variety Arka Kiran was significantly superior in stem girth (6.21 cm), plant spread (EW-3.06 m and NS-2.52 m) and canopy volume (13.85 m3) which was statistically on par with H-17-16. The performance with respect to yield pointed out that the accession H-17-16 had recorded the maximum percent fruit set (90.47%), maximum number of fruits harvested per plant (104.67) and thehighest yield (11.45 kg/plant and 12.72 t/ha) which was followed by Arka Kiran. With respect to fruit quality parameters, the maximum fruit length (7.45 cm) and TSS (15.20 0B) was found in H-17-16, whereas the maximum ascorbic acid (243.47 mg/100 g) andtotal sugars (12.37 %), was observed in SRD-HYD-1. The lycopene content was maximum in Arka Kiran (5.14 mg/100 g). The organoleptic scores on overall acceptability was highest for fruits of Arka Rashmi followed by H-17-16 and Arka Kiran. Studies on effect of pre harvest spray on selected red pulp varieties revealedthe minimum physiological loss in weight in fruits of Punjab Pink (Day 1 – Day 8) when sprayed with Ca(No3)2-0.5% and n-Propyl gallate-300ppm. The treated fruits alsoretained the maximum firmness and shelf life.The investigation on quality, storability and organoleptic assessment of processed products prepared from different red fleshed varieties revealed that the squash, RTS and jelly prepared from fruits of H-17-16 and Arka Rashmi recorded high scores while the lycopene retention was maximum in Arka Kiran in all the three products respectively. | en_US |
