The objectives of this research were to estimates the  genetic diversity and heritability of production characters and fruits quality of papaya on two harvest periods.  This experiment was conducted at three locations e.i Bogor, West Java from Januari 2012 to March 2013. The treatments  were arranged in randomized complete block design (RCBD), consisting of 15 genotypes as treatment  with three replications at two harvest periods.  Data observed were analysed by analysis of variance and mean square of each character was used to estimate the number of genetic diversity and broad sense heritability (h2bs).  Character such  fruit weigth, fruit length, flesh hardness flesh thickness, fruit number, production per plant had high heritability.
