The fruit of accession number 27 was the heaviest (2160 g) whereas accession number 7 produced the smallest fruits (718.33 g). Fruits of accession number 6 contained the highest TSS (9.66%). The edible qualities of accession number 6, 8, 15, 17, 21 and 22 were found better compared to others. All most all the characteristics viz. fruits plant-1, fruit weight, fruit diameter. rind thickness, number of segments fruit-1.
