About this variety

Umran is widely regarded as the highest-yielding named commercial ber variety grown in India, commonly cited at 150–200 kg of fruit per mature tree — substantially above the general range typical of the crop. Its fruit is large and oblong, reported at roughly 32.5 g each, with a thick skin that gives it good handling and transport durability, and an unusually high pulp recovery of about 96%, meaning very little of the fruit's weight is lost to core or waste. This combination of sheer yield, fruit size and pulp efficiency makes Umran the default choice for a grower whose primary goal is maximum tonnage from a commercial ber orchard.

Pest & disease considerations

Major diseases

  • Not separately documented

Advantages & considerations

Why farmers may choose it

  • The highest commonly cited per-tree yield among named ber varieties, 150–200 kg/tree.
  • Thick skin and roughly 96% pulp recovery give it strong handling durability and processing efficiency alongside its raw yield.

Things to consider

  • Being the highest-yielding variety, orchard management (thinning, nutrition) needs to genuinely support that yield level or fruit size and quality can suffer.
  • Sweetness and TSS profile not as specifically documented as the Thar-series releases bred with quality metrics in mind.
