Performance of some Exotic Pear Cultivars under Temperate Conditions of Kashmir

Seven exotic varieties and two commercially grown cultivars of pear grafted on quince were evaluated for various physio-chemical characteristics for two years in the orchard of Department of Horticulture, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir. Among various physical characters, Red Anjou recorded maximum frui...
