Abstract : On average, each of the 25 trees studied produced 5.44% parthenocarpic fruits of which 3.94% were seedless and 1.43% had rudimentary cotyledons, showing signs of degeneration. It is suggested that low temperature during flowering, reduced activity of pollinators, absence of pollinating trees and natural selfing contributed to parthenocarpy in mango.
