The results of the experiment showed that among the
cultivars, late bud burst were noticed in Pranyaj
(21.3.2012), Merced (21.3.2012) and California Paper
Shell (22.3.2012), respectively. The cumulative nut
yield (19.66 kg/tree and 12 28 t/ha) were highest in
Pranyaj followed by Merced (17.76 kg/tree and 11.09
t/ha) and Makhdoom (15.33 kg/tree and 9.57 t/ha) in
almond. Whereas, highest nut and kernel weight (3.90 g
and 2.06 g) was recorded in IXL cultivar. By growing
of these promising cultivars, the productivity may
improve several times than existing one in the
north west Himalayan region of India.
