The present investigation entitled “Morpho-physiologically Identification of SKN B-15 and SKNB-2 genotypes of bael under semi-arid conditions” was carried during the year 2024-25 at Asalpur farm, Department of Horticulture, SKN College of Agriculture, Jobner. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design with thirteen genotypes and replicated four times, considering one plant as a unit. The identification of SKN B-15 and SKN B-2 among 13 genotypes of bael and others cited in literature were carried out by using morphological and physiological traits viz. growth habit, foliage, phyllotaxy, inter nodal distance, leaf size, central leaf shape, lateral leaf shape, leaf apex, leaf base, leaf surface, leaf length, leaf width, trunk colour, bark splitting pattern, leaf colour, leaf margin, thorniness at basal portion of primary branch, flower size, maturity of fruit, immature fruit colour, mature fruit colour, fruit shape, fruit surface, pulp colour, shell thickness, mucilage, styler end cavity, stem end cavity, seed shape, locule arrangement, total number of seeds, total soluble solids(⁰Brix) of pulp, frost tolerance capacity and chlorophyll content.
