Abstract: The present investigation entitled “Evaluation of elite mandarin (Citrus reticulata Blanco) genotypes for yield parameters” was carried out during 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 at farmer’s field and Post Graduate Laboratory, Department of Horticulture, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri. The study was undertaken on 25 genotypes along with one commercial variety as check namely Nagpur mandarin. Further these genotypes were screened for yield parameters for two years. The experimental results showed that large variability was observed in mandarin genotypes for yield related traits. The maximum number of fruits per tree was recorded in RHRM-10 (406.00), whereas the maximum fruit weight was recorded in RHRM-19 (226.65 g), the maximum fruit yield was recorded in RHRM-10 (73.04 kg/tree) and the maximum fruit yield was recorded in RHRM-10 (29.21 t/ha). Form the present study we can conclude that genotype RHRM-10 found superior for overall yield parameters.
