Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Thirteen wax Jumbu lines were evaluated at the Hill Tracts Agricultural Research Station Ramgarh, Khagrachari Hill district during the summer season of 2010. A lot of variation observed in respect to age and size of plant, number of fruits, yield and quality of fruits. The first four lines were small canopied but other nine lines are of large canopied plants. The line EJ RAM 010 produced the maximum number of fruits (2189/plant) while heavier fruits (51.6g/fruit) produced by the line EJ RAM 011. The maximum fruit yield (123.12 kg/plant) was obtained from the line EJ RAM 009 and it was the lowest from EJ RAM 004 (3.26 kg/plant). The maximum TSS (5.91%) recorded from the line EJ RAM 010 having sweet taste and it was the lowest and less sweet taste in EJ RAM 001 (2.85%).

Keywords: Performance, Varability, Wax Jumbu.

Location: Hill Agricultural Research Station, Ramgarh and Khagrachari District

Start Date: 01-04-2009

End Date: 30-06-2009

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Jambu

Objectives:

1. To evaluate the performance and variability in Wax Jumbu.

2. To select superior lines having high yield potentiality and good quality of fruits for release as a new variety.

Methodology:

Thirteen wax Jumbu germplasm were collected in different locations of hilly areas and was planted in Agricultural Research Station, Ramgarh and Khagrachari Hill District. Mature fruits were harvested from the plant during April-June, 2009. Data on plant height, base girth of the plant, number on main branches/plant, plant spread and fruit characteristics were recorded from each plant. Single fruit weight, fruit size, TSS (%) and edible portion were recorded randomly selected 10 fruits from every harvest of each plant.

Achievement/Findings:

There was a lot of variability in respect to age of plant, plant height, number of branch, spread of plant, fruit size, single fruit weight, sweetness, TSS (%) and edible portion (%). The line EJ RAM 010 produced the maximum number of fruits (3757/plant) followed by EJ RAM 009 (3565/plant). The line EJ RAM 004 produced the lowest number of fruits (225/plant). Tiny fruits were produced by the lines EJ RAM 002 (13.2g) while heavier fruits (39.6 g/fruit) produced by the line EJ RAM 012. The maximum fruit yield (123.12 kg/plant) was obtained from the line EJ RAM 009 followed by EJ RAM 010 (122.43 kg/plant) and it was the lowest from EJ RAM 004 (3.26 kg/plant). The maximum TSS (5.91%) recorded from the line EJ RAM 010 having sweet taste and it was the lowest and less sweet taste in EJ RAM 001 (2.85%). All four colored skin lines had the lower TSS (2.85-3.04%) while the white lines had comparatively higher TSS (4.52-8.00).
