Studies on variability in fruit characters and yield of jamun (Syzygium cuminii Skeels) collection in Kerala
Author(s): Ajith Kumar K and Deepika V
Abstract: Fruit morphological variation in 17 collections was undertaken at KAU main campus for identifying the superior types. All the observation with respect to qualitative fruit characters were done following NBPGR descriptors. As majority of jamun trees are of seedling origin, they showed tremendous variation in their physicochemical attributes. Based on clustural analysis on quantitative and qualitative data, KJ- 45 has higher yield (54 kg plant-1), 12 fruits per cluster, fruit volume (11.4 cc), fruit length (3.10 cm), fruit width (1.24 cm), single fruit weight of 12.28 g, pulp (90.39 %), seed (9.6 %) and pulp: seed (9.41). Hence, KJ- 45 is considered as superior collection followed by KJ- 48, 47 and 7.
