Abstract:
Five loquat genotypes were studied at Horticultural Research Sub-station
Tret, Murree, Pakistan. Randomized Complete block Design was used and
data was analysed statistically. Significant differences were observed
among the genotypes in terms of fruit length, fruit width, width length
index, fruit weight, flesh seed ratio, number of fruits / bunch, days
from full bloom to maturity, number of seeds / fruit, individual seed
weight and seed content / fruit. Tret4 was observed to be the best
genotype having largest fruit (38.77g), highest flesh seed ratio (2.80)
and yield / plant (54.93 kg). Tret5 remained at bottom with reference to
flesh seed ratio of 2.11 and 33.71 kg yield / plant.
