Abstract

An experiment was conducted to evaluate selected mango hybrids for Kymore plateau region of Madhya Pradesh. The check variety Langra gave the maximum vegetative growth parameters, while the hybrid Swarn Jahangir and Ratna gave the minimum. Hybrid Amrapali attained the earliest flowering (14th February) and fruit setting (6th March). Floral malformation was highest (66.1%) in hybrid Neeleshan, while it was lowest (15.0%) in Amrapali. Hybrid Neelgoa recorded maximum fruit drop (66.8) followed by Langra, while it was minimum (26.9%) in Amrapali. Amrapali and Mallika produced significantly higher number of fruits and fruit yield per tree over the check variety Langra. However, the fruit weight of Mallika was significantly higher (302.6 g) over all the varieties under study except Neeleshan
