Abstract : Data are presented on changes in the dry weight percentage of terminal leaves of 3 mango cvs borne in successive growth flushes, assessed at intervals throughout the year. Dry weight percentages were highest just before fruit bud differentiation, especially with leaves from February flushes, and they subsequently declined.
