Abstract : Self-compatibility was studied in cultivars Alphonso, Totapuri, Langra, Vanraj and Baramasi as well as compatibility using pollen from cv. Kesar. Four of the 5 cultivars were self-compatible, Langra being the exception. Kesar pollen increased percentage fruit set in Alphonso and Vanraj but reduced it in Totapuri and Baramasi compared with selfing. Langra set fruits when pollinated by Kesar.
