 ABSTRACT

The present investigation was carried out in thirty genotype of wood apple at department of Fruit Science, college of Horticulture, Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda (UP) during 2019-20. Phenotypic correlations were worked out among twenty characters of Wood Apple to know the nature of association existing among the characters. Correlation among the quantitative characters was worked out. In correlation studies of Fruits weight was showed significant and positive association between length of fruit (0.712**), diameter of fruit (0.810**) and width of fruit (0.648**). Length of fruit showed significant positive correlations at phenotypic levels with Specific gravity (0.0.534**), Diameter of fruit (0.787**). Leaf length showed significant positive correlations with leaf width (0.517**), significant but negative correlation was observed with pectin content (0.417*).
Leaf width showed significant negative correlations with Specific gravity (-0.438*) and Non-reducing sugar (-0.460*). Seed length showed significant positive correlations with Reducing sugar (0.592**) and total sugar (0.418*) However, it was observed that a significant negative correlation exists with respect to No. of seed per fruit (-0.398*). Seed width showed significant negative correlations with Vitamin C (-0.508**). Total soluble solid was showed significant negative correlations with vitamin C (-0.570**). Reducing sugar showed significant positive correlation (0.786**) with non-reducing sugar.  However, non-reducing sugar was significant positive correlation with total sugar (0.843**).

Keywords: Wood Apple, Correlation Coefficient, Variability, Character Asoociation.
