In addition to genetic and environmental factors, fruit size is also influenced by crop load, rootstock, orchard planting system/tree training system, pollination, water and nutrient management, biotic and abiotic stress, etc.
Dear K. L. Kumawat To my opinion, growing optimum population size of the genotype along with 1-2 check varieties in the ideal environment, and repeating the same twice/thrice will provide a nearly true value of the genetic potential of the genotype in question.
Thanks!
Pairwise genetic correlations among the fruit traits showed mostly intermediate to high values, especially those associated with fruit size and shape. ... In terms of genotype performance, the best genotypes are those located at ... Pulp yield determines how much of the weight of the fruit can be attributed
If you want to determine only the potential of a cultivar, You have to knock out all other factors, You mentioned. Graft varieties onto 1 scion. Plant in 1 orchard, with 1 training system and watering and fertilization. Use the same plant protection, and always use at least two control cultivars in your experiment. To prevent climatic factors it is better to plant in pots in a greenhouse (if it is possible). Trees must be planted at the same time.
