The cv Mosambi stand on top most position in respect of plant height (3.77 m), canopy (25.62 m3), number of fruits (276/plant), yield (53.20 kg/plant), juice percentage (46.91%), TSS (8.94°Brix), Reducing sugars (4.11%) and Total sugars (7.16%), while the acidity was lowest i.e. (0.48 %). The lowest performance was recorded in cv Blood Red Malta i.e. number of fruits (144.37/ plant), yield (25.22 kg/plant), plant height (3.27 in) and rag content (35.65 gm)/ fruit. In cv Blood Red mutation minimum fruit weight (165.25 gm/fruit) and canopy (16.02 m3) was recorded.
