Abstract : Fruits of 7 cultivars of Mangifera indica were analysed for 12 biochemical and yield characters over 2 seasons (1983 and 1984). Yields were highest in cv. Malika (3.7 and 8.5 kg/plant) which also produced the highest fruit weight (464.4 and 312.6 g) and fruit volume (427.0 and 295.0 ml). The largest stone weight was recorded in Dashehari (16.8 and 17.0%). Malika had the highest pulp yields (70.1 and 74.2%). Total soluble solids content was highest in Alphonso (21.7% in both seasons) and the reducing sugar content was best in Dashehari (2.7 and 2.9%).
