An attempt was made in papaya cultivars non-destructive analysis by simple linear regression, Y=+ bx. The fruit volume (Y) can be predicted through both by fruit length (X), (Y1167.29+ 147.38 x; r = 0.9627**) Circumference (Y-1091.99 + 59.21 c) r= 0.9433, and also by the product of height (X) and circumference (C) (Y = -213.02.01 (X x C); r = 0.9858**). The fruit weight (Y) can also be predicted both by height (X) (Y1170.43+ 151.09 x; r = 0.9402) and product of Xx C (Y=-191.61 +2.06 X; r = 0.9873) This sutdy will be helpful to measure the volume and weight of the fruit in situ without destroying the fruit.
