Abstract

Experiment was conducted in year 2021-22 and 2022-23 at main experimentation college of Horticulture & Forestry Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya (U.P.) to study on different germplasm of bael (Aegle marmelos L.) based on chemical characters of bael under sodic soil condition of Uttar Pradesh. The experiment trail comprises of thirteen germplasm N.B.-4, N.B.-5, N.B.-7, N.B.-8, N.B.-9N.B.-10, N.B.-16, N.B.-17, N.B.-22, CIAH B-1, CISH B-2, Pant Aparna, Pant Sujata for the evaluation of TSS, acidity, ascorbic acid, reducing sugar, non-reducing sugar, and total sugars, using principal component analysis and cluster analysis for utilization in crop improvement. The result revealed that the highest T.S.S. is found for the genotype N.B.-17 (40.2 %), highest acidity in Pant Sujata (0.46 %), Ascorbic acid in N.B.-5 (20.5 %), reducing sugar in Pant Aparna (5.2 %), non-reducing sugar N.B.-9 (15.4 %) and total sugar in Pant Aparna N.B.-9(20.5 %), so these genotypes are found best for the both year data set and they are further recommended for the production and breeding programme.

Conclusion

As per the data evaluated in the result revealed that the best genotype having the highest T.S.S. is N.B.-17 (40.2 %) and the genotype having the highest acidity percentage is Pant Sujata and N.B.-16, best genotype for the highest amount of the ascorbic acid found in N.B.-5 (20.55 %) mg. the reducing sugar is found highest in the genotype Pant Aparna (0.44 %) and highest amount of non-reducing sugar and total sugar found in the genotype N.B.-9.
