Author(s): JL Nag, Ajay Tiwari and SN Dikshit
Abstract: The present study was carried out at the Research Farm of College of Agriculture and Research Station, Kanker, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur (Chhattisgarh). During two consecutive seasons viz., kharif 2013-14 and 2014-15 Experimental materials comprised 60 genotypes four replications with the objectives of estimate the post-harvest and quality attributes traits. The finding of analysis of variance revealed significant mean squares due to genotypes for all the quality attributes traits. A chemicals analysis was carried viz total soluble solids (°brix), total sugar (%), reducing sugar (%), non-reducing sugar (%), acidity (%), keeping days (Shelf life), pulp ratio, pulp-seed ratio, peel percentage and fruit yield per plant (kg). The highest quality parameters observed in total soluble solids (°brix), keeping days, fruit yield per plant and pulp-seed ratio present in IGCA-21 genotype, total sugar percentage (IGCA-2), reducing sugar percentage (IGCA-3), non-reducing sugar percentage (IGCA-51), acidity percentage (IGCA-15), pulp ratio (IGCA-25) and peel percentage (IGCA-36).Looking to the study of variance and Physico-chemical analysis in custard apple, this was first framework for improvements of custard apple under baste reason of Chhattisgarh and as well as India.
