Abstract : The flowering and fruiting behaviour of 10 mango cultivars was studied in Akola, India, during 1996-97. Results indicated that cultivars Kesar and Dashehari were the most suitable for the hot and dry climatic conditions of Akola. The greatest number of panicles/mē and the lowest ratio of hermaphrodite to male flowers were observed in cv. Kesar. The total number of fruits/tree (yield) was significantly higher in Kesar and Dashehari (146.75 and 143.0, respectively) than in other cultivars.
