Free and bound phenolics were extracted from the leaves of sexually differentiated male and female plants of papaya (Carica papaya L. ) and also from the leaves of vegetative seedlings at the nursery stage. These leaf extracts were subjected to 10 colorimetric tests specific to phenolics, and differences in colour reactions in both types of leaf extracts were studied. Based on these colour reactions, sex forecasts were made in vegetative seedlings at the nursery stage. The "Prussian blue" and "total phenolics" tests were found to be highly efficient in making sex forecasts of vegetative seedlings. The precision of sex forecasts in the "Prussian blue" test was 80
