Survey was conducted in Devarapalli, Mettaupparagudem, Venkataramannagudem, Jaggannapeta, Kommugudem, Krishnampalem and Ramannapalem villages of West Godavari district.

Maximum fruit weight (19.96 kg), fruit length (55.00 cm), weight of flakes per fruit (8.62 kg), number of flakes per fruit (315.00) and highest flake length (11.10 cm) was recorded in VJC-7 genotype. Higher weight of fresh flake with seed (49.80 g) and weight of fresh flake without seed (41. 80 g) was recorded in VJC-23. VJC-16 (3.32 cm) recorded higher flake width.
