refreshing arils. Pomegranate is one of the ancient fruit crops which were originated in
Iran. Total 151 pomegranate genotypes along with their hybrid parents (Bhagwa, DF,
Nana) combinely 154 used for morphological characterization. Total 13 morphological
parameters were used for characterization and Analysis of Variance, mean comparison and
simple correlations were analysed. Significance differences (P<0.05) were found among
all the genotypes of pomegranate. Highest critical differences at 5% were 13.21 (Fruit
weight), 11.98 (Aril %), 2.552Thorn [No/Shoot length (m)] recorded and lowest in leaf
blade width 0.143, 0.145 in leaf blade length, 0.456 in fruit length and 0.48 in seed
hardiness respectively. Plant growth parameters, leaf parameters and fruit parameters are
significantly correlated to each other. Fruit weight and seed hardiness was negatively
correlated to each other (r= -0.42). Those fruit have larger size and weight have less seed
hardiness. Fruit characteristics are negatively correlated with leaf characteristics (r= -
0.22).The largest the leaf size smallest the fruit size.Not Availabl
