 ABSTRACT

The present investigation was carried out at Horticultural Research Block, G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Hill Campus, Ranichauri, Tehri Garhwal, Uttarakhand, India. Three cultivars and four hybrids of apricot growing in Horticultural Research Block were analyzed for their physical and bio-chemical properties. All the cultivars and hybrids show significant differences among various physical and bio-chemical characters of apricot fruit. Among different cultivars, New Large Early showed the best result in respect to the physical properties of apricot fruits. In respect to the different hybrid studied, treatment T5 (New Large Early×New Castle) showed superiority in physical characters over all other hybrids. In relation to the bio-chemical characters of the different cultivars and hybrids, there was no definite pattern was observed during the investigation.

Key words: Hill, Biochemical, Cultivars, Hybrids.
