FRUIT CHARACTERISTICS, YIELD CONTRIBUTING CHARACTERS AND YIELD OF SOME COWA (Garcinia cowa) GENOTYPES UNDER NORTH EASTERN HILLY REGION OF BANGLADESH (Pages : 17 - 19)

A study on the fruit characteristics, yield contributing characters and yield of five Cowa genotypes was carried out at the Fruit Research Farm and Laboratory of Citrus Research Station, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Jaintapur, Sylhet, during fruiting season of 2012-2013. A wide variation was observed among the genotypes in respect of different characteristics under the present study. Per cent edible portion and total soluble solids (TSS%) were the highest in GC Jai-004 (43.50%) and GC Jai-018 (14.30%), respectively while the lowest edible portion in GC Jai-012 (38.59%) and the lowest TSS in GC Jai-020 (13.10%). Heaviest (77.0 g) fruits with length and diameter of 4.80 and 5.40 cm was recorded from the genotype GC Jai-004, whereas the lightest (23.5 g) fruits with length and diameter of 3.8 and 3.4 cm was noted in GC Jai-020. The highest number of fruits per plant (1500) was obtained from the genotype GC Jai-001 whereas highest yield per plant (144 kg/plant) was produced from the genotype GC Jai-018.Download
