Author: S.D. Sharma
Abstract:
The variation on 700 apricot (Prunus armenica
L.) seedling trees in respect of physico-chemical
characters, leaf area and yield were studied.
The population had distinct variation for these
characters.
The fruit weight ranged between
4.0-29.3 g, fruit length 1.9-3.6 cm, fruit diameter
1.9-3.5 cm, fruit volume from 2.1-27.5 cm3. The
stone weight varied from 0.5-2.9 g, kernel weight
0.2-0.7 g, flesh weight 3.5-21.6 g and flesh/stone
ratio from 2.7-15.5. The total soluble solids
ranged between 6.5 to 18.0%, acidity from 0.4 to
3.4% and oil content from 25.0 to 60.2 per cent.
The leaf area varied from 8.2-39.9 cm2 and
