The present study was undertaken at Agricultural Research Station, Kavali during 2022
2024 to assess the performance of three acid lime cultivars, namely Pramalini, Balaji and Petluru
Selection 1 under red lateritic soil conditions. The experimental layout followed a Randomized
Block Design comprising seven replications for comparative evaluation. Among the tested cultivars,
Petluru Selection 1 recorded superior growth (plant height 4.47 m; plant spread 4.18 m), yield (414
fruits/plant; 15.71 kg/plant) and juice content (55.3%), along with higher consumer preference,
indicating its suitability for lateritic soils of Andhra Pradesh.
