Abstract:
Evaluation of 35 local genotypes of jackfruit under coffee ecosystem of lower Pulney hills was conducted at Horticultural Research Station, Thadiyankudisai and its adjoining areas, during 2016-2017. Evaluation of the local genotypes was carried out and wide variability was observed in morphological, inflorescence, fruit and biochemical characters. Based on overall performance with respect to vegetative growth, inflorescence characters, yield and quality characters were recorded to identify the superior local genotypes. Various statistical analyses also carried out in this study.
Keywords: Jackfruit, Coffee ecosystem, Characterization, Yield, Quality characters
