Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A wide range of variation was recorded for studied characteristics. Full bloom took place from late January to late February. The colour of young leaf varied from greenish yellow to deep coppery tan. Harvesting took place from 1^st week of June to 2^nd week of July. Number of fruits/tree varied from 55 (MI Joy-003) to 77 (MI Joy-002). Maximum fruit weight was recorded from MI Joy 006 (338.7 g) and the minimum from MI Joy 002 (180 g). The highest TSS was found in MI Joy 004 (23%) while the lowest in MI Joy 006 (20.33%). Maximum edible portion was observed in MI Joy 004 (75.33%) and minimum in MI Joy 001 (56.67%). MI Joy-002 had the highest shelf life (8.67 days) and the lowest (5.67 days) was in MI Joy-001, MI Joy-004 and MI Joy-006. Most of the germplasm had fibreless yellow pulp. The highest infestation of leaf cutting weevil was recorded in MI Joy-006 (10.66%) and the lowest in MI Joy-004 (2.66 %). Disease incidence viz. anthracnose, vegetative malformation and floral malformation were present but not in severe condition.

Budget: 20000/-

Total Budget (Tk.) : 20000/-

Achievement/Findings:

Considering overall growth condition, yield and fruit quality almost all the germplasm was found satisfactory. For early germplasm MI -Joy 001 and MI -Joy 002 were found promising, while MI -Joy 006 was considered as late season germplasm.
