The purpose of the present experiment was to determine chilling hours and growing degree hours of Punica granatum L. in four sites viz., Narag, Jonaji, Waknaghat and Nauni, in Himachal Pradesh, India. More variation exists between sites as compared to the within sites for most of the duration of phenophases. Chilling hour and GDH for vegetative bud were lower as compared to reproductive bud. Chilling hours and growing degree hours for vegetative bud ranged from 779.0 (Nauni) to 921.9 hours (Jonaji) and 914.5 (Jonaji) to 1067.9°C (Narag), respectively. However, for reproductive bud, chilling hours and growing degree hours fluctuated from 836.0 (Narag) to 1155.1 hours (Jonaji) and 1220.0 (Jonaji) to 2164.3°C (Narag), respectively. Narag with warmer microclimate had lower chilling requirement and higher value for growing degree hours than the Jonaji with cooler microclimate, suggesting adaption of the genotypes to the given climatic conditions. GDH was significantly correlated with the leaf area (0.64) and fruit weight (0.69) of the wild pomegranate. The findings of this study have important implications for optimizing the cultivation and management of Punica granatum L. in varying climatic conditions. Understanding the differential chilling and growing degree hour requirements between vegetative and reproductive buds, as well as the influence of microclimate on these parameters, can guide the selection of suitable genotypes for specific locations.
