The present investigation was carried out at Horticulture Research Centre, Patharchatta, G. B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar during the year 2004-05 to find out suitable cultivars of litchi on the basis of yield and quality attributes. Ten cultivars of litchi were taken to conduct the experiment. Sex ratio was observed highest in Maharaj Singh Pasand (3.54). Fruit cracking percentage was found lowest in cultivar Culcuttia (14.50%). Rose Scented is early, Calcuttia is mid season and Late Seedless is categorized as late season variety. Yield was maximum in cultivar Rose Scented (40 kg/tree). In contrast to quality characters TSS was maximum in Rose Scented (19.66 0B). Total sugars were the maximum in Late Large Green (15.39%). On the basis of the study, Rose Scented, Calcuttia and Late Seedless are suitable cultivars for Tarai region. Orcharding of litchi with these three varieties will ensure the availability of fruits in the market for a longer period.
