Abstract: An experiment was conducted to study the performance of different cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) genotypes under Konkan region of Maharashtra during 2008-09 to 2014-15 (6 years) under AICRP-Cashew Scheme at Regional Fruit Research Station, Vengurle - 416 516, Dist. Sindhudurg (M.S.). The trial was laid out with 12 accessions in Randomized Block Design and three replications. Grafts of all accessions of uniform in age and size were planted at 7m x 7m distance. The uniform package of practices including the recommended dose of fertilizers and plant protection schedule was followed during entire experimentation. Among the 12 types/hybrid tested, the maximum number of laterals (33.40/m2) and number of flowering panicle (24.29/m2) observed under M44/3. The highest nut weight (9.98 g) and apple weight (91.33 g) recorded under H-367. While, the maximum pooled yield (6 years) recorded in H-303 (7.24 kg/tree and 1.48 t/ha) with bold nut of 8.90 g. whereas, the maximum shelling percentage noted in 3/33 (31.15%) followed in H-255 (30.25%).
