Summary: | An experiment conducted at "New Orchard", University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad revealed that all the growth parameters, viz., shoot length, shoot diameter, number of leaves per shoot and leaf area per shoot recorded at harvest of fruits varied significantly among the different cultivars of Sapota. Significantly maximum shoot length (16.75 cm) was noticed in cv. DHS-1 and it was minimum in cv. Kalipatti (13.53 cm). Cricket Ball recorded significantly more values for shoot diameter (4.26 cm) and number of leaves per shoot (23.01), while cv. DHS-2 recorded minimum values (3.97 cm and 19.58 respectively). Significantly highest leaf area per shoot was observed in cv. DHS-1 (501.84 cm2) and it was lower in cv. DHS-2 (330.90 cm2). The cv. DHS-1 recorded significantly maximum yield per tree (104.97 kg), while it was minimum in cv. Kalipatti (36.64 kg). |
