Twenty four populations of Sapindus mukorossi Gaertn. scattered over a wide range upto 1500 m elevation in Himachal Pradesh were evaluated to observe variation in seed oil contents and seed oil quality traits. Significant variation among different populations were observed for per cent seed oil content and non significant for oil quality traits. Maximum oil content was recorded in Garsa (18.92%) population. D.B.H classes did not show distinct variation for seed oil content and oil quality traits. Study concluded that on an average, the populations of Garsa (Kullu Forest Division) of Himachal Pradesh was found to be best over all other populations for both the traits. This investigation will be useful for further improvement of the species for improved genetic gain.
