ABSTRACT
An experiment was carried out during 2015-16 in Department of Fruit science and Horticulture Technology, College of Agriculture, OUAT, Bhubaneswar to find out the effect of evaluation of vegetative characters of different sapota genotypes under the coastal agro climate of Odisha. Variation due to divergence in genotypes was found significant. so far as the morphometric is concerned different genotypes have maximum plant height (174.68cm), stem girth (11.91cm), number of primary branches (4.66), secondary branches (14.33) and tertiary branches (36) which was recorded highest in CO-1. Whereas, maximum number of leaves per shoot (20.16) was noted in DHS-1. However, highest canopy area (2.67m²) was in PKM-4 and canopy volume (1.35 m3) recorded in PKM-1. Likewise, leaf area (26.56cm²) and leaf petiole length (2.66cm) were observed in Panic collection was highest in Mohan gootee. Lowest plant height (111.9 cm), stem girth (8.31 cm), number of primary branches (2.00), secondary branches (5.66), tertiary branches (17.66), canopy area (0.95 m2) and volume (0.48 m3) were noted in PKM-5. However, minimum petiole length (1.74 cm) and leaf area (14.90 cm2) were observed in Kirti Bharathi, Whereas, Pala recorded minimum number of leaves (11.83).
Key words: Morphometrics, Genotype, Agro climate, Canopy volume.
