Performance of mango varieties in Kymore platue of Madhya Pradesh

The present experiment was conducted at Fruit Research Station Kuthulia farm Rewa (M.P.). Twenty mango varieties of different zones of India were tested in Randomized Block Design with four replications. The result revealed that the variety S.B. Chausa was vigorous in growth than other varieties. The maximum plant height (8.97 m), canopy height (7.54 m) and spread (11.59 m E->w and 15.1 m N->S) were recorded in S.B. Chausa followed by Langra. The Mallika variety of mango found at par with morphological characters. The maximum yield (116.15 kg/tree) was recorded in Bangalora followed by Langra (69.31 kg/tree), Dashehari (62.9 kg/tree), Mallika (59.48 kg/tree) and Bombay green (53.26 kg/tree). The physio-chemical properties like fruit weight varied from Vanraj (401.7 g/fruit) and Banglora(326.25 g/fruit).However fruit weight was lowest in Neelam (126.68 g). The total soluble solid content was maximum in Dashehari (23.6 B) followed by Langra (23.45 B), Mallika (22.1 B) and Bombay green (22.1 B). On the basis of cumulative mean of 8 years and quality parameters, the mango varieties Banglora, Langra, Mallika, Bmbai, Beneshan, Bombay green and Fazli were found most suitable for commercial plantation in Kymore plateau.
