Phenotypic and genotypic variabililies were studied in a collection of 16 varieties of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) at the Regional Station of Agricultural Research, Vallabhnagar (Udaipur) on the Ambe-bahar flush during 1973. High genetic coefficient of variation was observed for per cent acidity, arils/fruit, rind weight, fruit yield/tree, fruit weight and fruits/tree. These characters also possessed high heri-tability as well as high genetic advance. This suggests that improvement in these characters can be brought about by practicising phenotypic selection.
