Abstract

Karonda (Carissa carandus L.) is one of the unique under-exploited fruit crops in India. It is evergreen and exceedingly hardy shrub, mostly having forked spines. Raw and ripe fruits of karonda are of economic importance, which possess enormous medicinal and processing properties. It is a good source of vitamin C, iron, phosphorous and calcium. Unavailability of vegetatively propagated planting material of good type is the greatest constraint in the expansion of this crop.
