Abstract:
Five loquat genotypes were studied at Horticultural Research Sub-station Tret, Murree, Pakistan. Randomized Complete block Design was used and data was analysed statistically. Significant differences were observed among the genotypes in terms of fruit length, fruit width, width length index, fruit weight, flesh seed ratio, number of fruits / bunch, days from full bloom to maturity, number of seeds / fruit, individual seed weight and seed content / fruit. Tret4 was observed to be the best genotype having largest fruit (38.77g), highest flesh seed ratio (2.80) and yield / plant (54.93 kg). Tret5 remained at bottom with reference to flesh seed ratio of 2.11 and 33.71 kg yield / plant.
