Mitra, S.K. | Maity, C.S.
The collection and evaluation of over 1460 jackfruit trees in West Bengal was initiated in 1990. Thirty-five types have been identified as superior clones and are being conserved at the Faculty of Horticulture Research Station. Wide variability in yield (15-1450 fruits/tree), fruit weight (1.22-17.30kg), fruit shape, peel colour, flake colour, number of flakes (30-380/fruit), number of seeds (30-365/fruit), texture of flakes, flake weight, total soluble solids (9.1-28.0%), total sugar (7.6-23.6%) and fruit acidity (0.10-0.33%) were observed among the genotypes. The growth, bearing (twice a year in some types) and maturity (June-September) of fruits also showed variations among the genotypes.
