Aonla is one of the nutritive fruit crops and is well known as richest source of Vitamin-C content. The present experiment was conducted to evaluate the performance of six different varieties of Aonla for physico-chemical characteristics under Bengaluru condition. The results revealed that, significant variability was observed among the varieties for different fruit, seed and biochemical traits. The variety Krishna recorded maximum fruit length (3.82 cm), fruit diameter (4.22 cm), fruit weight (49.33 g) and pulp weight (41.1 g). Maximum pulp content (84.75 %) and pulp to stone ratio (5.65) was recorded in NA-10 and Krishna varieties, respectively. The maximum stone weight (7.7 g), seeds per fruit (6.6) and seed length (0.54 cm) was recorded highest in Kanchan variety. Ascorbic acid content in fruit pulp (564.4 mg/100g) was highest in Krishna variety. The variety Krishna was found superior compared to other varieties for fruit characters and ascorbic acid content.
