Three grapefruit cultivars namely Redblush, Foster and Marsh seedless were evaluated for four seasons for their field performance under the arid-irrigated region of Punjab. Among the pigmented cultivars, Redblush has been recorded to bear maximum yield and TSS/Acid ratio. This cultivar is early ripener (last week of November) having bright crimson blush colouration in juice vesicles. On the basis of good characters, cultivation of Redblush is recommended for the arid-irrigated region of Punjab in addition to Marsh Seedless Cultivar.
