The present investigation was carried out during the year 2017-2018 at the Fruit research station Imalia, and in laboratory of Department of Horticulture/Food Science, College of Agriculture, Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Jabalpur (.). The experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four replication comprising six different genotypes of ber (treatment) viz., Gola, Banarasi karaka, Umran, Jawahar ber1, Jawahar ber-2, Jawahar ber-3. It was found that the various physical parameters viz. fruit weight, fruit volume, fruit length, fruit diameter, pulp weight, stone weight, pulp stone ratio were found to be increased during the entire course(30 days to 180 days) of growth and development period. Among the various genotypes, Umran was found the best genotype in respect to the highest average weight per fruit ( g), size of x cm, pulp to stone ratio (), yield ( kg per tree) with an attractive chocolate colour and good taste at maturity. | Studies on physical changes during fruit growth and development of different genotypes of Ber (Zizyphus mauritiana L.)
