Abstract:
The present experiment was conducted under Department of Fruit Science College of Agriculture, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur (C.G) through the survey conducted on different villages of Balod district to identify superior guava genotypes in Chhattisgarh plains. The experiment consisting of thirty genotypes of guava was laid out under Randomized Complete Block Deign (RBD) with three replications to study the biodiversity of guava (Psidium guajava L.) in Balod district of Chhattisgarh. The results revealed the BG-27 among the different genotypes proved significantly superior over rest of the genotypes with respect to tree height (8.27 m), number of fruits per plant (186), Fruit yield per tree (46.53 kg) and The genotypes BG-15 recorded the maximum TSS (12.42°Brix), Reducing sugar (5.81%), Total sugar (8.59%) and Non-reducing sugar (2.48%) while genotype BG-11 observed maximum Ascorbic acid (243.86 mg/100 g pulp).
