Abstract

The present experiment entitled “Studies on physical attributes of bael (Aegle marmelos L.) fruit suitable for commercialization and processing” was conducted at Horticulture laboratory of the Department of Applied Plant Science during 2011-12. Matured fruits procured from well established bael orchard and investigation was carried out Completely Randomized Block Design with three replications. The observations were recorded on fruit shape, skull colour, pulp colour, fruit weight, skull thickness, fruit length, fruit width, pulp content and seed content. Flattened round fruit shape, greenish skull colour and pale yellow in pulp colour was found in NB-7. Minimum skull thickness 3.10 mm, seed content 2.42 per cent, whereas maximum fruit weight 2.00 kg, fruit length 16.20 cm, fruit width 17.20 cm and pulp content 79.20 per cent was found in cv. Narendra Bael-7. Result indicated that on the basis of physical attributes NB-7 varieties was found best for commercialization and processing.
