Survey is very important for understanding the reasons behind physiological parameter and fruit variation in bael germplasm Survey was made for collection of different germplasm of Bael. It was studied during 2022-23 in the month May-June in various location of Jabalpur district under AICRP-AZF, Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Jabalpur (M.P.) and analysis was done for studies the physico-chemical characteristics of collected Bael germplasms. Total twelve germplasms were selected and collected fully ripe Bael fruit, the germplasm code is JB-1 to JB -12. Among the 12 germplasm, JB-8 and JB-9 germplasm were having maximum fruit size, weight and fruit volume followed by JB-1, JB-6, and JB-7 and remaining germplasm was at par. Average Fruit weight is ranged from 142 g to 1450 g, fruit volume (82 to 1290 ml), fruit length (71.2 to 137.0 mm), fruit width (61.2 to 137.9 mm), pulp weight (70.3 to 1003.0 g), number of seed (50 to 105), seed weight (17 to 38 g), rind weight (75 to 328 g), rind thickness (2.4 to 4.8). The maximum fruit weight recorded in germplasm JB-8 (1450 g), fruit volume (1290 ml), shell weight (328g), pulp weight (958 g) and seed weight (41 g). Second best germplasm was JB-9 recorded 1178 g fruit weight, 925 ml fruit volume, 748 g pulp weight, medium seed weight 17g, seed number 78 and minimum number of locules i.e. 10. Highest TSS (°Brix) was found in germplasm JB-7 (46.3), JB-1 (44), JB-8 (43) respectively. Germplasm JB-7 observed recorded minimum acidity % (0.57) while in germplasm JB-9 have maximum acidity percent.
Bael, Germplasm, survey and fruit
Survey is very important for understanding the reasons behind physiological parameter and fruit variation in bael germplasm is crucial for selecting and breeding improved varieties, optimizing cultivation practices, and ensuring post-harvest quality. By studying and manipulating these factors, researchers and farmers can work towards developing bael cultivars with desirable physiological parameters, improved fruit quality, and increased yield. Among the 12 germplasm, the range of fruit weight from 142 g to 1450 g, fruit volume (82 to 1290 ml), fruit length (71.2 to 137.0 mm), fruit width (61.2 to 137.9 mm), pulp weight (70.3 to1003.0 g), number of seed (50 to 105), seed weight (17 to 38 g), rind weight (75 to 328 g), rind thickness (2.4 to 4.8). The maximum fruit weight, fruit volume, shell weight, pulp weight and seed weight was recorded in germplasm JB-8 followed by germplasm was JB-9 recorded. Highest TSS (°Brix) was found in germplasm JB-7. Germplasm B-7 observed recorded minimum acidity % (0.57) while in germplasm B-9 have maximum acidity percent.
