The twenty genotypes (JAM-1 to 20) of the bael selected from different locations of Kymore plateau and Satpura hill region of MP from the existing plant population was evaluated for fruit characteristics of plants to find out superior genotypes. The present investigation reveals that many genotypes are valuable for one or other traits but considering the most important traits like higher pulp percentage, and less number of seeds and fruit weight, the genotypes JAM-8 is most superior with pulp% (73.18), less number of seed (53.16), TSS-38.70 oBrix followed by JAM-1, JAM-2, JAM3, JAM-10, JAM-12 and JAM-17 which may be include for further utilization and multiplication of quality planting material.
