Author(s): Venkataramana P, Sivappa, Priyadarshini SK and Mahesh M
Abstract: Jamun is a hardy fruit crop, it can be grown under adverse soil and climatic conditions. It thrives well under both tropical and subtropical climates. The medicinal value of this fruit is getting recognised as it has high nutritious and therapeutic value In this regard an attempt has been carried out in order to bring out good variety through clonal selection among available germplasm resources in the locality. The elite clones selected from farmers plot and clones collected from farmer’s field at Maravapalli village of Chintamani taluk were evaluated and selection was carried out along with local check Srinivaspur selection. Evaluation was carried out at Agricultural Research Station, Chintamani and in farmers filed which comes under zone V of Karnataka. The characteristic features observed from the clonal selections viz., big sized fruits having higher pulp content and Total Soluble Sugars (TSS) were considered for selection. Among the clones evaluated, Chintamani selection-1 had regular bearing of fruits with average yield of 150kg/tree. The grafts started bearing from 4 years after planting. Comparative results of Chintamani selection-1 with check Srinivaspur selection was better in terms of morphology of fruit, fruit yield and other physicochemical characters.
