Abstract :

An investigation was carried out to evaluate the different genotypes of mango for their yield performance under theni condition. The experiment with Ten mango genotypes were laid out in a randomized block design. The experiment revealed that the number of flowers per panicle was maximum in Pedharasam (1346.80) while it was minimum in Banganapalli (741.40). The highest percentage of fruit set was registered in Banganapalli (0.74 %), where as it was the lowest in Malpacharisi (0.12%). Maximum fruit retention percentage was recorded in Sendhuram (38.46%) while minimum was registered in Banganapalli (12.20%). The highest fruit drop percentage was observed in Banganapalli (87.80 %) followed by P.K.Patti ( 87.04%), while it was minimum in Malpacharisi (60 %). In most of the cultivars, the date of harvesting ranged from 3rd to 4th week of June. The maximum yield per tree to the tune of 59.67 Kg was recorded in Ratna. The minimum yield per tree (1.15 Kg per tree) was recorded in kuruvi Neelum.
