Variability status in some F1 hybrids for cashew apple and cashew nut characters

摘要

Thirty F1 hybrids of cashew were studied for the variability in cashew apples and cashew nuts. Studies revealed considerable variability among these hybrids for these characters. The hybrids, H-1141 had highest weight of apple (72.72 g) and H-824 showed maximum apple to nut ratio (7.82). The cashew nut characters indicated the highest nut weight of 9.93 g and highest shelling percentage of 32.65% in H-815.
