ABSTRACT

Thirteen genotypes of Custard apple (Annona squamosa L.) were evaluated for fruit yield and yield attributing traits from 2001-2008 at Arid Horticulture Research Station, Kondamallepally, Nalgonda district of Andhra Pradesh. Critical examination of the data revealed that a cross between Atemoya x Blanagar exhibited the highest cumulative yield (163.50 kg) over these years. The data revealed that the highest fruit yield in the cross has been attributed to highest number of fruits coupled with moderate fruit weight while, the Islandjem identified as poor yielder over years in the area due to low yield contributing characters.
Keywords: Custard apple, Genotype evaluation, Fruit yield.
