Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
The most extensively cultivated crops all over the world to meet the hunger of poor people is banana. It is highly nutritive and every part of the plant is useful. Six different varieties of banana viz. Grand Naine (AAA), Poyo (AAA), Kalyani Local (ABB), Nendran (AAB), Cooking I (ABB) and Champa (AAB) were selected for the study. Fully mature hard green banana fruits (Figure 1) of selected varieties were harvested from farm maintained by AICRP on tropical fruits Mandoli, Nadia. Different physical parameters such as fruit weight, fruit length, fruit thickness, pulp weight, pulp thickness, peel weight, peel thickness, pulp peel ratio and ease of peeling and total soluble solids were recorded during the experiment. Fruit weight, peel weight, pulp weight and pulp thickness were recorded to be maximized in Kalyani Local (V3) and minimum in Poyo (V2) and it varied from 92.20 g to 135.90 g for fruit weight, 39.63 g to 81.53 g for peel weight, 52.57 to 108.80 g for pulp weight and 2.50 to 3.77 cm for pulp thickness respectively. Fruit length was maximum (23.93 cm) in Nendran (V4). TSS was estimated to be maximized in Poyo (V2) (4.27 °Brix).
