Abstract:
The present experiment was conducted at Cashew Research Station, All India Coordinated Research Project on Cashew, OUAT, Bhubaneswar, Odisha to evaluate the performance of eleven diverse genotypes of cashew. There were significant differences among the genotypes for plant height, trunk girth, canopy spread and ground area coverage by canopy, nuts/panicle, apple weight, nut weight and nut yield/tree. Maximum plant height was found in H-32/4. Longest flowering duration (68.00) was observed in the genotype BH-85 while Goa 11/16 recorded the shortest duration of flowering (55.00). Apple weight(65.60g) was recorded maximum in genotype H-1593 whereas the genotype H 2/16 showed the maximum nut weight(8.17g). Highest nut yield/tree was observed in BH-85(18.34kg/tree) for 12^th harvest.
