Twenty-two accessions of different sources indigenously collected from India were planted in ICAR-Indian Institute of Oil palm Research Pedavegi during 2009 and evaluated for 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19 and among the 257 palms, 20 pisifera, 109 Tenera and 128 Dura were identified. Among the pisifera palms two pisifera palms IC0610027-20 (TTD-1) is having 98.5 % sterility and IC0610024-47 (AND-24) is having parthenocarpic pisifera palm with 68.62 % fruit set. Average height increment of the palms per year was 39.03 and 50.67 cm, respectively.
