      <Abstract>An experiment was carried out during 2022-23 to study the Physical properties of in-situ custard apple (Annona squamosa L.) genotypes in Bastar district of Chhattisgarh, India. The experiment was conducted in five villages and 16 different locations BCA-1is Chitrakote, BCA-2 to BCA-8 are Salpheepadar, BCA-9 to BCA-14 are Arracote, BCA-15 Mareeguda and Madhur (check) are Bakawand. The selected custard apple genotypes are about 8 to 10 year old plants. The results showed the physical properties of in-situ custard apple genotypes under the Bastar district. The variations in Fruit weight per fruit (135.9 to 276.9 g/fruit), Pericarp weight per fruit (60.93 to 146.47 g/fruit), Seeded pulp per fruit (69.80 to 137.13 g/fruit), De-seeded pulp per fruit ( 60.27 to 121.00 g/fruit), Seed weight per fruit (9.53 to 16.40 g/fruit), Number of seed per fruit (21 to 41.87 seed/fruit), Fruit to de-seeded pulp ratio per fruit (2.07-2.42), De-seeded pulp to seed ratio per fruit (5.32 to 7.99), De-deeded pulp recovery percentage per fruit (41.30 to 48.56 %) and peel or pericarp percentage per fruit (44.50 to 52.89 %) of custard apple fruits were observed. After the observation, Madhur (check), BCA-4, BCA-5, and BCA-8 custard apple genotypes were superior in quality traits and could be commercially viable cultivars.</Abstract>
