Abstract

Low chilling varieties of peach viz. TA-170, Flordasun and Shan-e-Punjab were evaluated to find out a suitable cultivar for commercial production under low hill condition of Nagaland. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with 3 replications at ICAR Research Complex for NEH Region, Nagaland Centre, Medziphema during 2015-2016. The result revealed that cultivar TA-170 accounted for the maximum yield (15.58 kg/tree), fruit weight (40.27 g), fruit length (5.50 cm) and fruit diameter (4.50 cm) followed by Flordasun and lowest in Shan-e-Punjab. Maximum total sugars (13.71 %), reducing sugar (6.67 %) and TSS (17.35 °Brix) along with lowest acidity (0.27 %) content was observed in Flordasun. Maximum ascorbic acid (76.17 mg/100 g) content on the other hand was found in Shan-e- Punjab. From the present study, it may be concluded that Flordasun was the best performer followed by TA-170 and Shan-e-Punjab under low hill condition of Nagaland.
