Abstract
Seven cultivars of aonla (Emblica officinalis Gaertn) were evaluated under humid tropical conditions at Central Horticultural Research Station(IIHR), Chettalli (Karnataka) for 3 years during 2010 to 2012 for growth and yield. Highest plant height (6.32 m), rootstock circumference (75.10 cm), scion circumference (74.24 cm) and plant spread(N-S) (6.18m) was recorded in cv. BSR-1 followed by cv. Kanchan. The highest number of fruits (798) was recorded in cv. Chakaiya followed by cv. Krishna (649), while fruit yield was highest in cv. Chakaiya (26.78 kg/plant) and cv. Krishna (26.34 kg). Highest fruit weight (40.57 g) was recorded in cv. Krishna followed by NA-6(37.72 g). The lowest fruit weight was recorded in BSR-1 (18.59g).The pulp percent was highest in cv. NA-7 (95.50%) and cv. Chakaiya (95.33%). T.S.S was highest in cv. BSR-1(11.5O Brix) followed by cv. Kanchan (9.87oBrix). Ascorbic acid, acidity and sugar percent was higher in cv. BSR-1 than other cultivars. The cv. BSR-1 was found better for growth and fruit quality parameters while yield and fruit size was higher in cvs. Chakaiya and Krishna.
