dc.description.abstract	Nine cocoa hybrids and seven parents were evaluated for their pod and bean characters during two seasons. Maximum number of beans per pod were noted in the hybrid 1-29 x NC 23/43 (41/pod). Single dry bean weight ranged from 0.610 to 1.066g and the maximum was showed by the cross II-67 xNC 29/66. Likewise pod index ranged from 53.92 to 21.72, and the least value was noted in the cross 11-67 x NC29/66. Quantification of some of the biochemical constituents like total fat, sugars, amino acids and phenolics were also performed. Hybrid 11-67 x NC42/94 has given the highest fat content of 43 per cent. Seasonal and varietal variations were found to be significant for most of the traits studied. The dry bean weight showed considerable decrease during the second season (0.873g to 0.789g). Correlation studies revealed that there exists a positive correlation of ovary weight to single bean weight and pulp percentage showed a negative correlation to the pH of the bean.	en_US
