Pomegranate (Punicagranatum L.) is an important arid zone fruit cropand has emerged as a<br />

commercially important fruit crop. However, the performance <strong>of</strong> the plant will be excellent if<br />

maintenance is with protective irrigation. In the recent past, pomegranate has attained export<br />

potential and foreign exchange. Fruits are exported to Europe, Middle East, Africa, America<br />

and Asian countries. It is commercially cultivated in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat,<br />

Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Andra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu. The major pomegranate growing<br />

area under rainshadow districts <strong>of</strong> Maharashtra regions particularly Solapur, Sangli, Nashik,<br />

farm was Ganesh, Bhagwa and Arakta were selected. The design <strong>of</strong> experimental plot was<br />

Randomized Block Design replicated seven times with two plants per replication. For<br />

observation <strong>of</strong> plant height (cm), diameter <strong>of</strong> stem (cm) and number <strong>of</strong> fruits plant -1 were<br />

Managing genetic resources for enhanced stress tolerance<br />
