Evaluation of guava (Psidium guajava L.) cultivars for morphological, yield and quality attributes under Malwa plateau conditions

Present investigation deals with evaluation of ten cultivars with respect to growth, yield and quality traits of guava (Psidium guajava L.) during the winter season of 2017-18. Plant height was higher in Nasik and L-49 but plant spread was higher in apple colour and chittidar. Maximum flower and number of flowers were noted in Rewa-72. Maximum fruit length and diameter and fruit weight were observed in L-49 and Apple colour. The maximum pulp percentage was noted in chittidar and minimum number of seed per fruit and minimum acidity was found in strawberry. The highest yield was recorded in L-49 followed by Rewa-72 and Apple Colour. Maximum total soluble solids was noted Lucknow-49.
