Abstract :The farmers or orchardist are trying different varieties/germplasm for growing as a commercial orchard without having knowledge about the performance of these varieties/germplasm. The experiment on varietal evaluation of on aonla comprising of nine promising cultivars insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NA 6, NA 7, NA 10, NA 20, Krishna, BSR 1, Gujarat 1, Chakaiya and CHES 1); released from the different parts of the country was carried out to study the variation among different varieties on qualitative as well as quantitative basis and observed the performance of growth, physicochemical characters and yield during 2017-18, 2018-19, 2019-20 under semi-arid conditions to recommend the suitable variety. Plant shape was observed as spreading insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CHES 1, Chakaiya, Krishna, NA 6, NA 7, NA 10, BSR 1);; drooping insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NA 20); and upright insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(G1); in different cultivars of aonla. The range of variability among different parameters such as plant height insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(4.90-6.70 m);, plant spread-EW insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(4.47- 7.15 m);, plant spread-NS insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(4.44-7.53 m); , stem girth insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(46.45-95.37 cm);, plant volume insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(86.8-283.9 m3 );, plant canopy area insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(15.59-42.35 m2 );, total soluble solids,TSS insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(9.17-18.32 °B);, acidity insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1.92-2.63%);, TSS : acidity ratio insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(4.09-7.71);, ascorbic acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(323-567 mg/100 g pulp);, fruit weight insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(5.89-55.43 g);, fruit length insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1.87-3.33 cm);, fruit breadth insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2.28-3.70 cm);, yield insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(36-102 kg/plant and 10.00-28.34 MT/ha);. Fruit shape was observed as flattened round insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CHES 1, Chakaiya, NA 6, NA 10, G 1, BSR 1);, triangular insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Krishna);, oval insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NA 7); and round insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NA 20);. Free base insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(cavity at stem end); was observed as absent insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CHES 1);, shallow insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Chakaiya, NA 6, NA 20, G 1);, deep insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Krishna);, flat insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NA 7, NA 10, BSR 1); and fruit apex was observed as flat insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CHES 1, Chakaiya, Krishna, NA 7, NA 10, NA 20);, papillateinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NA 6, BSR 1);, depressed insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(G 1);.
