Varieties (1)

Pusa Arun

Pusa Arun

Division :	Fruits and Horticultural Technology(FHT)
Year of Release :	2020
States for which Released :	Delhi NCT
Characteristics :	First seedless pummelo mutant of our country with high juice recovery (41.43%). Average fruit weight- 496.95 g (much less than exiting genotypes). Ready to harvest in the first week of October i.e.15 days earlier than other sweet citrus varieties of sweet orange, grapefruit and pummelo. Higher fruit yield (45.55 kg/tree; 28.47 ton/ha), very low acidity (0.39% citric acid) over standard pummelo (white fleshed). Distinct advantage in yield and quality characters over existing pummelo genotypes.
Average Yield :	280.4
Production Conditions :	for commercial cultivation under NCT of Delhi region as well in kitchen gardens.
