Bael is adaptable to a wide range of soils, but soil and land characteristics are key factors that influence its growth, yield, and overall productivity. Acidic soils are those which have a pH level below 7, indicating a higher concentration of hydrogen ions. The present study was conducted at Citrus Research Station, BARI, Jaitapur, Sylhet for evaluation of bael germplasm under acidic soil. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The treatments comprised four types of germplasm like AM Jai-001, AM Jai-002, AM Jai-003 and AM Jai-004. Among the tested germplasm, the germplasm of AM Jai-001 consistently exhibited outstanding performance in terms of growth, yield attributes and desirable physic-chemical traits and closely followed by AM Jai-004. From the above study the germplasm AM Jai-001 and AM Jai-004 are found to perform well under the acidic soil conditions, when compared to the other germplasm.
