Abstract
Characterization of germplasm is important for crop improvement. An investigation was carried out with twelve guava germplasm to investigate morphological characters viz. leaf qualitative and fruit qualitative and quantitative characters. The single factor experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Maximum fruit length was found in Chiangmai long (9.37 cm) and minimum was found in Sawadi (4.43 cm). The highest number of seeds was observed in Chiangmai round (352.80). Number of Seed was lesser in Kanchan Nagar (196.40) and in BAU-5 (200.80). Analysis of variance for different characters showed high degree of variation among the germplasm. Among the germplasm BAU-1, BAU-5, Chiangmai long, Chiangmai round, Mukundapuri and Poly guava were found superior according to size, taste, sweetness and so on. The variability in these characters generated valuable information could be used for choice of parents for advance guava breeding programme.
Key Words: Guava morphology, Germplasm characterization, qualitative characters and pulp
