Abstract:
A study was carried out at Horticultural Research Institute, AARI, Faisalabad, Pakistan to find out some new hybrid in mandarin with elite characters. At least 500 flowers of Feutrell’s Early were emasculated, crossed (Feurtell’s Early x Kinnow), bagged and tagged. After getting F1 fruits, seeds were extracted and sown. At bearing stage, physico-chemical analysis was carried out. Newly formed hybrid (Feutrell’s Early x Kinnow) was more juicy (55.79%) than its parents (Kinnow and Feutrell’s Early) and it contained less number of seeds (11). This new hybrid had less average weight (120.54g) and size (27.33 cm) than parents but showed more acidity (0.69%) than Feutrell’s Early and less than that of Kinnow.
