Performance of papaya cultivars grown under protected conditions

Evaluation of Papaya Varieties for Yield and Quality Parameters under Northern Dry Zone of Karnataka, India

“…Moreover, yield performance of any variety is considered as a cumulative effect of yield attributes and the hybrid Surya could not come upto fruit bearing stage due to unfavourable climatic conditions. Similar findings were found in Tyagi et al, (2015), Anh et al, (2011). Fruit yield plant -1 had significant positive both association with plant height at flowering, petiole length, number of leaves at flowering, fruit length, fruit girth, central cavity, pulp thickness, TSS and number of fruits plant -1 both at genotypic and phenotypic level respectively.…”

“…These results was negatively correlated with ascorbic acid and positively correlated with titratable acidity. Similar findings was recorded by Tyagi et al, (2015) which might be attributed to its high photosynthetic efficiency and fast rate of diversion of sugars from source (leaf) to sink (fruit), in comparison to other varieties. Kwame (4) reported that sugar forms the main component of soluble solids in ripe papaya.…”

“…photosynthetic efficiency, and rate of translocation of photosynthates from source to sink and photo-respiration that takes place in the plant body. These results are in contrast with Goenaga et al, (2001) and Tyagi et al, (2015) according to them the study showed that there were two fruit shapes for Red Lady 786. As mentioned above, the fruits from pistillate flowers were oval, while an oblong shape was found in the fruits: derived from hermaphrodite flower.…”

“…Maximum cavity diameter was recorded in the Arka Prabhat (7.52 cm) and minimum was found in the Arka Surya (6.22 cm).These results are in contrast with Tyagi et al, (2015) the variations among the varieties may be attributed to their genetic constitution. The differential ability of photosynthetic rate per unit leaf area per unit time can also be responsible for the varied fruit weight.…”

Performance of Papaya Varieties for Growth Parameters under Northern Dry Zone of Karnataka, India

“…These results are in accordance with the findings of Meena et al, (2012). Similar findings were recorded byJana et al, (2010), Anh et al, (2011), Dias et al, (2011 and Tyagi et al, (2015). Table.2 Performance of papaya varieties in respect of average flowers and fruits Table.3 Performance of papaya varieties in respect of plant duration Table 2 depicts the maximum average number of flowers was found in variety Amrita (103.11) and the minimum was found in variety Coorg Honey Dew (32.89).…”
