Abstract : An assessment was made of floral malformation in 20 mango cultivars in 1989 and 1990. The malformation was categorized as light, medium or heavy. All cultivars suffered some malformation in both years, but the worst was recorded with Neelum (29.24 and 17.39% of panicles malformed in 1989 and 1990, respectively), Bangalore (19.45 and 18.13%, respectively) and Kesar (18.49 and 15.36%, respectively), and the least in Krishna Bhog (10.23 and 9.60%, respectively).
