Six peach cultivars viz; Flordasun, Flordaprince, No.22 , Pratap , Prabhat and Shan-e-Punjab were cultivated for evaluation purposes to come up with a suitable cultivar for commercial production under hill and plateau condition of Jharkhand province of India. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with 3 replications at ICAR-RCER, Research Centre Plandu, Ranchi in the year 2008- 2009. The result revealed that the early bearing cultivars were Prabhat, Flordasun and Floridaprince gave potential yield on last week of March. The late bearing promising cultivar was Shan-e-Punjab which bears largest fruit (39.93g). Stone weight was the minimum in Florida Sun (2.86 g) which gave rise to highest pulp: stone ratio (6.382) followed by cv. Shan-e-Punjab (5.033). The maximum TSS was observed in cultivar Prabhat (17.96 0B) being comparable with Floridaprince (17.530B) and Floridasun(17.30B) statistically. The cultivar Pratap accounted for the maximum yield per tree (4years) 15 .85 kg but the maximum total sugar content of 13.5 per cent was found in the cv. Shan-e-Punjab. From the present study it is concluded that vigorous and spreading type peach cv. Shan-e- Punjab was the best performer followed by Pratap and Prabhat under Eastern plateau and hill region of India for commercial cultivation.
