The present investigations were undertaken to evaluate Kesar mango sub-clones population for their overall performance during 2016–17 at Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri, Maharashtra. Among the sub-clones studied the clones RK-02, RK-04 and RK-14 were recorded for early (44–45 days) flowering. The sub-clones RK-16 and RK-35 showed early maturity (119 to 121 days). Maximum average fruit weight and fruit size were recorded in RK-12, RK-21 and RK-19. The sub-clones RK-21, RK-19 and RK-07 were found superior for yield attributes and more sustainable for the yield. The days from panicle initiation to flowering, fruit length, fruit width, average weight of fruit, yield per tree and yield per hectare showed positively skewed distribution; however days from panicle initiation to maturity and number of fruits per plant showed negatively skewed distribution. Thus all the characters studied did not follow the normal distribution. The traits like days from panicle initiation to flowering, fruit length, fruit width, average fruit weight, yield per tree and yield per hectare exhibited leptokurtic curve whereas days from panicle initiation to maturity and number of fruits per plant showed platykurtic curve.
