Abstract:

Phenological observations are some of the most sensitive data for the identification of plant species growth in regional climatic conditions. Thus, an experiment was conducted during the year 2016 to 2017. The field experiment was laid out in Random Block Design (factorial) to characterize the phenological stages of apple grown in three agro-climatic zones at Kullu, Shimla and Kinnaur of Himachal Pradesh. The data on Phenological stages were recorded as per BBCH scale. The results revealed that apple cultivars exhibited variations for attaining phenophases from bud development to fruit maturity in the range of 130.3 to 138.6 days. The phenological stages accumulated highest GDD at lower altitude range 1500-2000 m amsl and lowest at higher altitude range 2500-3000 m amsl.


Keywords: Climatic conditions, Phenology, BBCH, GDD
