Abstract

Chitradurga and Kolar provenances differed in their character association with pulp yield in tamarind. Pod yield per tree, pulp weight per pod and pulp to pod ratio in Chitradurga provenance and in Kolar provenance characters, viz., pod width, pod yield per tree, seed yield per tree, pulp weight per pod and pulp to pod ratio showed positive and significant association with pulp yield per tree. Path co-efficient analysis revealed that pod yield per tree and pulp to pod ratio are most important pulp yield components as they show high direct effect in both provenances.
