Abstract

Avocado is a remunerative crop gaining its significance in commercial fruit orchard by the intervention of two newly released, high-yielding avocado varieties from Central Horticultural Experiment Station, ICAR-Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, Chettalli, Kodagu District, Karnataka, India. Arka Supreme is an A-type variety released in 2020 and has a fruit weight of 400-450 g with fat content of 18-20%. Arka Coorg Ravi is a B-type variety released in 2022 which exhibits high pulp recovery with a fruit weight of 450-600 g. These varieties have the potential to enhance avocado production and increase growers' income in India, with an average yield of 80-100 kg per plant after eight years of planting.
