Performance of certain mango (Mangifera indica L.) hybrids in Kymore plateau in Madhya Pradesh

An experiment was conducted at Fruit Research Station, Kuthulia, college of Agriculture, Rewa (M.P.) during year 2010-11 to 2019-20, to study the performance of mango (Mangifera indica L.) hybrids in Kymore plateau in Madhya Pradesh. A total of 10 different hybrids namely Amprapali (Dasheharix neelam), Mallika (neelam x Dashehari), Ratna(neelam x Alphanso), Prabhashanker(Bombai x Kalapadhi), Mahmud Bahar(Bombai x Kalapadhi), neelgoa (neelam x Viramalgoa) neeleshan (neelam x Baneshan), neeluddin (neelam x Himayuddin) , Swarnajehangir (chinnswarnarekha x Jahangir) and AU-Rumani(Rumani x neelam) along with Langra, Bombay Green and a local cultivar ‘Sunderja’ were evaluated for yield and quality. Among all the evaluated, the maximum tree height was recorded (6.89 m) in Mallika followed by (6.82 m) Langra and minimum was recorded (3.58 m) in A U Rumani. Significantly maximum tree spread was recorded (E-W ,10.26 m and N-S ,10.20 m ) in Langra followed by (E-w, 8.85 m and n-S, 8.14m) in Mallika. the maximum fruit yield was recorded (56.44 kg/tree) in Sunderja followed by Mallika (46.10 kg/tree) and (40.38 kg/tree) Mahamoodbahar. whereas minimum fruit yield per tree was recorded (3.57 kg/tree) in Ratna. Significantly fruit weight was recorded in Neeleshan (316.25 g) followed by (298.60g) in Sunderja and Mallika (235.00 g). the maximum pulp content was recorded (77.22 %) in Amrapali followed by (74.20 %) neeludeen and control cultivar (73.05 %) in Langra. the maximum tSS was recorded (22.81ÚB) in Amrapali followed by control cultivar Langra (22.24ÚB), in Sunderja (22.23 ÚB) and Mallika (21.24 ÚB), whereas the minimum tSS was recorded (18.81ÚB) in Ratna. the maximum reducing sugar was recorded in cultivar Langra (6.20 %) followed by Mallika (6.03 %), Amrapali (5.19 %) and Sunderja (5.17 %).
