Abstract : The hybrids Totapuri X Alphonso (T X A) and Totapuri X Mulgoa (T X M) gave larger fruits with smaller stones than their parents. Hybrid T X A had a high fibre content, which made it suitable only for juice production, but was more susceptible to fruit fly than its parents. Quality of juice was rated in the order Alphonso > T X A > T X M > Totapuri > Mulgoa. Both hybrids had lower sugar:acid ratios than their parents. The hybrid Banganpalli X Alphonso was suitable for canned slice production and was rated as superior to Banganpalli and only slightly inferior to Alphonso, which has smaller fruits with larger stones than the hybrid.
