“…The fruits produced in this study are heavier, on average, than those recorded by Cavalcante et al (2011a) but lighter than the 274 g obtained by Costa et al (2002) and the 220 g recorded by Girwani et al (2011) for the custard apple hybrid-4 ('1/6 British Guinea' × 'Atemoya') in India. In addition, the higher average value of the present study is comparable to the maximum one registered by in India.…”

ABSTRACT. The custard apple (Annona squamosa L.), also known as the sugar apple, is a fruit species native to Brazil that has been poorly studied, especially in relation to the effect of humic substances on its fruit quality and yield. An experiment was conducted from December 2010 to November 2011 to evaluate the fruit quality and yield of the custard apple as a function of nitrogen fertilising and the use of humic substances. The experimental design consisted of randomised blocks, with treatments distributed in a factorial arrangement (4 x 2), using four nitrogen doses (0, 100, 175 and 250 g of N plant -1 ) and two humic substance applications (with and without humic substances), with four replications. The fruit yield and fruit characteristics, such as fruit mass, titratable acidity (TA), soluble solids (SS), pulp pH and SS/TA ratio, were recorded. The humic substances and the nitrogen levels significantly affected the soluble solids, titratable acidity and SS/TA ratio, while the pH pulp was only influenced by the humic substances. The humic substances promoted a quantitative increase in the fruit yield of 0.63 ton ha -1 . The fruit quality and yield of the custard apple depend on the nitrogen fertiliser and the interaction of the humic substances. Nitrogen fertilising of 100 g per plant, associated with humic substances, could be recommended for use in the production of custard apples.

“…Shelf life in Annona fruit is one of the important breeding objectives and SG-8 recorded highest shelf life (5 days) among selected twenty two superior genotypes at ambient temperature. Girwani et al (2011) reported similar results for fruit and quality characters.…”

Annona is one of the favourite dry land fruit of Maharashtra, because it is hardy in nature and drought tolerant. One of the important bottlenecks to increase the area under production is unavailability of suitable and improved varieties. Among 101 genotypes collected from Western Maharashtra; twenty two genotypes were found superior for physicochemical characteristics. On the basis of two year data (2011 and 2012); the highest fruit pulp percentage was found in Island Gem (61.72) and SG-8 (60.46), but genotype SG-8 was superior for other fruit quantitative and biochemical characters. Dendrogram using average linkage on the basis of physicochemical characteristics revealed that genotype SG-8, Island Gem and Pink Mammoth formed distinct cluster from other genotypes. The Annona is highly perishable fruit, so shelf life is an important trait. The genotype SG-8 showed highest (five days) shelf life among selected genotypes. Hence, the genotypes collected from various regions had significant variation for various traits and can be evaluated physicochemically and promising one can be selected for further improvement programme.

“…Mathakar (2005) reported the shape of areole as round, square, mammal and hexagonal in Annona hybrids. Girwani et al, (2011) observed that the shape of areole in Annona hybrids as round, flat, mammal, pointed, square and spiny which indicates presence of sufficient variability for fruit shape in custard apple genotypes.…”

“…Dikshit et al, (2008) studied diversity in custard apple and the fruits revealed total soluble sugar (19-26º Brix). Girwani et al, (2011) evaluated custard apple hybrids for quality attributing character and reported TSS ranged from 20 to 28.2 o Brix. The TSS was highest in Hybrid-2 (28.2 0 Brix) followed by Hybrid-4 (25 0 Brix).…”
