Surveyed teak seed orchard (TSO), Behrai, Seoni of Madhya Pradesh and collected fruits from 73 teak clones of Madhya Pradesh (MP) origin and fruit weight examined. The results revealed variation of fruit weight in MP teak, in respect of clones. The study suggests that the variation in genotypes of teak may play a decisive role for differential weight of teak fruits.
