Abstract : The fruit characteristics of some important local mango cultivars grown at Chapai Nawabganj district were studied from 2008-2011 fruiting seasons. Seven locally cultivated important mango cultivars (Alam shai, Champa, Danadar, Hayati, Lugnee, Mirabhog and Shantu) were selected. Both qualitative and quantitative characteristics were considered in order to study the variations among the cultivars. The described cultivars were cross checked with the commercial varieties according to available literature but there were no resemblance between these two categories. The studied characters indicated that there remained considerable variations among those cultivars and these could be used for commercial basis as well as varietal development and needs to take action for sustainable conservation.
