Abstract:
Evaluation of fruit crops has been successfully utilized for studying the performance of varieties under different agroclimatic regions from time to time. In the present study, cultivars were characterized based on their physico-biochemical attributes. Totapuri” and “Malgoa” were found superior in terms of fruit weight (554.56 and 384.56 g), size, pulp weight (232.00 and 226.78 g) and pulp stone ratio (6.15 and 4.11). “Khadar” excelled in terms of reducing sugar (20.82%), while “Dashehari” in TSS (19.11^oB) possessed the highest amount of total soluble solids while the lowest amount in Totapuri (12.44 ^◦B). The study shows the potential of Malgoa in terms of its quality, being late can meet the demand in the northern dry zone of Karnataka
