Abstract:
The present research entitled studies on variability in fruit characters of jamun (Syzygium cumini Skeels) genotypes was carried out in Northern Bastar Plateau Region of Chhattisgarh during the year 2016-17 and 2017-18 to select some promising genotypes of jamun. A very good jamun collection of variability has confined in Northern Bastar Plateau Region of Chhattisgarh. A wide range of variability was observed in the fruit composition of fruit among the investigated genotypes. The CGJAM-20 genotypes were observed most promising in terms of fruit weight, pulp weight and seed weight and CGJAM-24 with respect to fruit length and seed length. Therefore, these genotypes are suitable for further perpetuation for commercial and systematic orcharding of jamun.
