Abstract/ Executive Summary:

One germplasm of Phalsa (GA Raj-001) was evaluated at Fruit Research Station, BARI, Binodpur, Rajshahi during 2018-2019. Germplasm (GA Raj-001) was a small spreading tree having plant height 10.1 m and base girth 1.2 m. The yellow flowers were born in dense cymes in the leaf axils during March to May. The fruit was round, drupe and become dark purple when ripe. The flesh color was light greenish white. The length and breadth of the fruit were 1.3 cm and 1.2 cm, respectively. Length of peduncle was 2.5 cm. Fruit flavor was slightly astringent. Considering 100 fruits, the weight of fruit, seed and flesh was 70.5 g, 8.1 g and 49 g, respectively. The edible portion and TSS was 70% and 27.1%, respectively. Number of seeds per fruit was 1-2 and opaque type, brown, round or hemispherical seed showed low seed shattering tendency.
