Robusta (AAA): It is a semi-tall variety, grown mostly in Tamil Nadu and some parts of Karnataka for table purpose.
Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra. It is a high yielding and produces
bunch of large size with well developed fruits. Dark green fruits turn
bright yellow upon ripening depending on ripening conditions. Fruit is
very sweet with a good aroma. Bunch weighs about 25-30 kg. Requires
propping. Fruit has a poor keeping quality leading to a quick breakdown
of pulp after ripening, hence not suited for long distance
transportation. Robusta is highly susceptible to Sigatoka leaf spot
disease in humid tropics.
