ABSTRACT
An experiment was carried out on different cultivars of sapota grown in Andhra Pradesh like Cricket Ball, Singapore, CO-1, CO-2, PKM-1, PKM-2, PKM-3, DHS-1, DHS-2, Kalipatti and Pala. The main objectives of this investigation understand the branching pattern in different cultivars of sapota. Irrespective of the strata and variety, the mean number of branches produced at different orders decreased gradually from tip downwards with maximum values recorded at N order i.e., the tip. The number of branches ranged from 2.890 (N order) to 0.906 (N-7) in the lower strata, from 2.760 (N) to 0.681 (N-6) in the middle strata and from 2.555 (N) to 0.879 (N-5) in the upper strata. Relatively higher number of branches was produced in lower strata compared to the middle and upper strata. Among the cultivars maximum number of branches were recorded in lower strata (2.181), and middle strata (2.184) by cv.DHS-2 whereas in the upper strata by cv. Pala (2.079). The number of flowers and flower bearing units (branches) decreased from tip downwards irrespective of the strata and variety.
