Abstract : The following parameters were measured for 4 mango cultivars: date and duration of panicle emergence and anthesis; time and rate of anthesis; number of flowers per panicle and sex ratio; time of dehiscence of anthers; receptivity of stigma; size and viability of pollen grains; and fruit set. With respect to many of the fruits, the two early cultivars Gulabkhas and Mithua gave slightly superior values to the two later cultivars Sukul and Sipia.
