This study was carried out in order to evaluate the yield of 14 progenies of yellow passion fruit grown in Federal District, Brazil. It was conducted at the Água Limpa Farm - University of Brasilia using a randomized block design with 14 treatments (progenies), 04 replications, and plots consisting of eight plants. The progenies were: Vermelhão Ingaí, EC-RAM, AR01, AR02, mar20#36, mar20#46, AP1, FP01, FB200, RC3, GA2-AR1*AG, mar20#03, mar20#23 and mar20#09. The parameters analyzed after 75 harvests were: productivity (Kg/ha), average fruit weight (g), number of fruits per hectare; peel color and classification by size. The highest yields were obtained for the progenies Vermelhão Ingaí, EC-RAM and AR01. Among them, Vermelhão Ingaí produced the highest number of fruits. EC-RAM produced the largest number of pink and purple fruits. All progenies showed a higher yield of yellow fruits. The total average weight ranged from 83g in mar20#36 and 128g in EC-RAM. The highest yield of fruits for industrial use was found in Vermelhão Ingaí with first class fruits and mar20#46 with 1B fruits. The greater producer of fruits for fresh consumption was AR02 with 1A and 2A fruits and AR01 with 3A fruits.
