The treatments comprised: irrigation schedule with 30% ER in stage-I, III, V and 40% ER in stages II, IV and VI (T1), irrigation schedule with 40% ER in stage-I, III, V and 60% ER in stages II, IV and VI (T2), irrigation schedule with 60% ER in stage-I, III, V and 80% ER in stages II, IV and VI (T3), irrigation schedule with 80% ER in stage I to VI (T4) and irrigation schedule with 30% ER in stage I to VI (T5) with four replications in a randomized block design. The maximum canopy volume (20m3), average number of fruits of fruits (288 fruits/plant) and total soluble solids (10.63°Brix) were recorded at 80-80-80-80-80-80% ER from stage I (January-February) to stage VI (November-December).

In fact, these fruits are the only source of protective food to meet the need of vitamins and minerals of people living in villages. Owing to curative properties, these fruits are used in Ayurvedic and Unani medicines since time immemorial. Apart from their nutritive and medicinal values, a few underutilized fruits have excellent flavour and very attractive colour. Their cultivation is very restricted and they grow mainly as wild. Being tolerant to biotic and abiotic stresses, these fruit crops are suitable for growing in the drought prone areas. Since India has a rich heritage of indigenous fruit types, some of them have already been recommended for commercial planting. It is apparent that there are more fruit crops that await future exploitation. Semi-arid fruits are the oldest fruit tree crops with wide distribution, reflecting their adaptation to a wide range of edapho-climatic conditions of our country. The understanding of various agro-techniques, propagation methods, canopy management, and biotic and abiotic stresses management are equally important for improving their productivity and quality. These crops are known as underutilized but they are locally abundant, and restricted to their geographical location owing to dearth of scientific knowledge. These crops like bael, jamun, tamarind, chironji, khirni custard apple, etc. are immensely constructive and climate smart by surviving in harsh agroclimatic conditions, and can be established on degraded lands, which are presently being underutilized. Therefore, to review the research work done and exploring lacunae in these potential crops critically has become the need of the hour. Hence, research review paper deals all issues and challenges pertaining to these fruit crops.","PeriodicalId":351755,"journal":{"name":"Current Horticulture","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133669238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) and phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) were highest for days to 50% germination and lowest for first flower, days to 50% flower, days to maturity, fruit length, fruit diameter, number of seeds/fruit, fruit yield/plant, fruit yield/plot and fruit yield (q/ha). The heritability estimates were high for days to 50% germination, average fruit weight, number of fruits/plant, fruit yield/ plant and fruit yield (q/ha) indicating that selection based on phenotypic performance would be more operative. The high heritability coupled with high GAM was observed for days to 50% germination, average fruit weight and number of fruits/plant, indicating that additive gene effect was more important. Based on D2 analysis, 19 genotypes were grouped into six clusters. The cluster I had seven genotypes followed by cluster II and III with six and three genotypes respectively, while and remaining clusters were monogenotypic. The cluster II recorded maximum intra cluster distance, followed by cluster I and clusters III. Maximum inter-cluster distance was observed between cluster III and VI, followed by that between cluster III and IV and between cluster I and III, suggesting that genotypes belonging to cluster III and VI, III and IV and I and III are more divergent than the rest of the clusters. Per cent character contribution towards genetic divergence was maximum for fruit yield (q/ha), followed by average fruit weight, days to 50% germination, number of seeds/fruit and fruit yield/plant showing selection of these characters. Apart from the above findings it can be concluded that, selection and hybridization of genotypes from high divergent clusters III (Kashi Kranti, Hisar Naveen, P-8) and VI (Punjab Suhavani) and cluster I (NDO-10, Azad Bhindi-1, Kashi Vibhuti, Arka Abhay, Kashi Vardan, Arka Anamika, Kashi Pragati) and cluster III (Kashi Kranti, Hisar Naveen, P-8) are expected to yield potential F1s and transgressive for further exploitation.","PeriodicalId":351755,"journal":{"name":"Current Horticulture","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130321210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
