JAGSIR SINGH, B.S. THAKUR and SOURABH GARG. 2016. Comparison of fruit physico-chemical characteristics of different apple cultivars under cold desert condition of North Western Himalayas. Green Farming Vol. 7 (1) : 173-175 ;  January-February, 2016

ABSTRACT
The studies on the evaluation of some newly introduced cultivars of apple under cold desert conditions were carried out to study the performance of nine apple cultivars for their suitability for commercial cultivation. Maximum fruit length was recorded in ‘Scarlet Spur’ (75.63 mm) and minimum in ‘Gale Gala’ (60.13 mm). Fruit diameter ranged from 65.09 mm to 83.87 mm, being maximum in the cultivar ‘Scarlet Spur’ (83.87 mm). The maximum L/D ratio (0.97) was recorded in cultivar Oregon Spur-II. The cultivar Scarlet Spur recorded highest fruit weight (254.44 g) and lowest fruit weight was recorded in Golden Spur (116.44 g). The maximum fruit volume (333.00 cc) was recorded in the cultivar ‘Scarlet Spur’. Fruit firmness was highest in the cultivar Coe Fuji (11.34 lb2) and was recorded to be lowest in ‘Scarlet Spur’ (6.36 lb2). TSS ranged from 12.84 to 15.80oB in different cultivars. The highest acidity (0.81 %) was recorded in the cultivar ‘Granny Smith’. Reducing sugars were highest in ‘Golden Spur’ (8.87 %) and were minimum in ‘Red Chief’ (5.50 %), whereas non-reducing sugars were highest in Red Chief (6.60 %) and minimum in Golden Spur (1.37 %). Total sugars ranged from 8.00 to 12.45 per cent in different cultivars.
