Abstract : Results of trials carried out over 30 years at the Experimental Agricultural Station in Puerto Rico are outlined. Preliminary results of current trials with the mango cultivars Parvin and Tommy Atkins grafted on dwarfing and non-dwarfing rootstocks indicate that, in terms of yield, Julie is an excellent rootstock for Parvin.
