Evaluation of different curry leaf genotypes for leaf morphology

The trial titled “Evaluation of Different Curry Leaf (Murraya koenigii) Genotypes” was conducted at the College of Horticulture, Dapoli, in the Ratnagiri district from 2023 to 2025. A survey was carried out in various locations within Ratnagiri to select the best curry leaf varieties. Uniform plants aged 10 to 15 years were chosen based on their yield and leaf aroma. The results showed that the number of compound leaves per tertiary branch varied from 18 (in genotypes CL-9 and CL-13) to 28 (in genotype CL-11). The maximum leaf length was observed in CL-10, measuring 37.2 cm, while the highest leaf width was recorded in CL-11 at 13.4 cm. Leaflet length ranged from 3.9 cm (for CL-12 and CL-15) to 9.0 cm (for CL-11), and leaflet width varied from 1.5 cm (in CL-25) to 3.7 cm (in CL-1).
