An investigation was carried out on six varieties of Aonla (Emblica officinalis Gaertn) viz; NA-6, NA-7, NA-10, Krishna, Kanchan and Chakayya for yield and quality under unique hard lateritic rocky situation at Mango Research Sub-Centre, Rameshwar Tal. Deogad, Dist. Sindhudurg (M.S.). The maximum yield (17.0 q ha^-1 in October harvest and 33.5 q ha^-1 in May harvest) was registered by Kanchan variety. The annual (Cumulative and average) yield was also highest (50.5 q ha^-1 50.5 q ha^-1, respectively.) in Kanchan variety. The seasonal variation between both the harvests was assessed and there was significant variation in the fruits parameters and yield. The deviation was observed higher in yield, T.S.S. and acidity in May harvest irrespective of variety.
