Abstract

The four planting density (1600, 1111, 816 and 625 plant/ha) as main plot and three almond variety (Makhdoom, Waris and Shalimar) as sub-plot treatment were laid out in Split Plot Design with three replication. Results clearly indicated that maximum cross-sectional area of tree, canopy volume, nut number, nut yield/tree, nut weight, nut size, kernel weight, kernel size, shell thickness and shell weight were recorded in lower plant density but have negative correlation. However, yield (4.01 t/ha) was maximum in higher plant density and have positive correlation. Among variety, Waris performed better in respect to growth and yield compared to Makhdoom and Shalimar during a three year experiment.
