A report has been documented where age of the wood apple plants varied between 13 and 70 years with yield potential in mother plants (Ghosh et al 2012) [3] . The proximity value 11.96 between ACC-3 and ACC-6 denoted maximum similarity among accessions for plant physical parameters followed by 14.64 between ACC-2 and ACC-5.…”

Wood apple fruit is a hard shelled many seeded berry with its pinkish brown aromatic soursweet pulp being the edible portion. Total eleven (11) numbers of wood apple plants were stratified from different agroclimatic zones of West Bengal depending on availability of fruit crop and convenience of the study at Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Mohanpur, Nadia, West Bengal during the years 2013-2015. Under the observation for characterization, the plant physical parameters has been analyzed with the help of Biodiversity International Tropical Fruit Descriptor (NBPGR) and so for preliminary evaluation, fruit physical parameters and fruit biochemical parameters has been analyzed. During the course of survey the tree age of wood apple varied from 15yrs to above 40yrs in age at different germplasm in which the height and trunk girth varied from 10m to above 20m and 88.2 cm to 157.4 cm. Branching pattern and crown shape was observed to be irregular in all the accessions whereas, tree growth habit varied from erect to spreading type. Leaf characters in wood apple reveals obovate leaf blade shape, obtuse to retuse leaf apex, cuneate leaf base, odd pinnate leaf orientation and pinnate leaf venation. Length of the leaf blade ranges from 3.05 cm to 4.12 cm and breadth varies from 1.06 cm to 3.08 cm. Maximum fruit length was recorded in ACC-8 (8.04 cm) and breadth of 7.96 cm in ACC-6. Maximum fruit weight (306.02 g), peel weight (73.68 g) and number of seeds (28.42) was from the ACC-4. Maximum total sugar 28.57 mg/100 gm pulp (ACC-1), reducing sugar 13.88 mg/100 gm (ACC-4), acidity 1.77 mg/100 gm (ACC-5) and Vit. C 102.04 mg/100 gm (ACC-2) has been recorded. Average linkage technique clustering when applied on squared Euclidean distance matrix a total of 6 clusters were formed for plant physical parameters, a total of 7 clusters were formed for fruit physical parameters and a total of 6 clusters were formed for fruit biochemical parameters.

The current research trial was performed at Department of Horticulture, Dr. P. D. K. V., Akola (Maharashtra) on thirty-two years old wood apple orchard for examining genotypic, phenotypic and environmental correlation for yield and yield associated traits of wood apple genotypes. All these seedlings originated operating trees provide ample range for selecting acceptable genotypes containing higher yield potentiality coupled with better fruit quality characters having precocity in bearing, less spine intensity and another beneficial trait. Owing to the outcomes depicted in latest research analysis, the subsequent interpretations could be pinched. The mean sum squares examined for all the traits was observed significant, designating variations for various components. High GCV and heritability values exaggerated with sizable genetic gain also expresses additive gene effects controlling patrimony of analogous components. The correlation among the yield related traits such as pulp weight, pulp: skull ratio, fruit length, fruit diameter designated that better yielding ability linked along with mentioned yield related components. On account of yield and yield associated traits, AKWa2, AKWa6, AKWa1 and AKWa15 genotypes were observed promising for further crop enhancement schemes. As a result, these wood apple genotypes conceivably promoted for selection in improving fruit yield and sensory standards.
