Genotypic correlations revealed strong associations among pulp weight, real pulp value, pod weight, and mineral traits. Principal component analysis explained 98.90% of total variability in the first eight components, with PC1 (27.40%) associated mainly with yield traits and PC2 (20.60%) with pulp quality attributes.

Abstract

), antioxidant activity (89.4%), calcium (0.75%), and iron (0.24%). Pratisthan showed the highest pulp percentage (49.8%) and real pulp value (5.13). Genotypic correlations revealed strong associations among pulp weight, real pulp value, pod weight, and mineral traits. Principal component analysis explained 98.90% of total variability in the first eight components, with PC1 (27.40%) associated mainly with yield traits and PC2 (20.60%) with pulp quality attributes. Cluster analysis grouped cultivars into three distinct clusters, highlighting substantial divergence; Sweet Type and Goma Prateek showed the greatest genetic distance. Overall, Goma Prateek, Ajanta, and Pratisthan emerged as promising cultivars combining yield and nutritional quality. The integrated evaluation of morphological, biochemical, and mineral traits provides a robust framework for tamarind breeding and cultivar selection under semi-arid conditions.
