Abstract : In a field experiment conducted at Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India, for two consecutive years [years not given], mango cultivars Dashehari, Chausa, Gaurjeet Sukul, Rataul, Bombay Green, Bombay Yellow, Khasulkhas, Lucknow Safeda, Fazli, Langra, and Baramasi were studied for phenotypic and genotypic correlation between panicle diameter and its component characters (shoot length; leaf length and width; panicle and fruit length; malformation; and fruit weight, volume, and pulp, total soluble solid, and reducing sugar contents; and seed stone weight and length). Path coefficient analysis revealed that panicle length had highly significant and positive association with panicle diameter; thus, it should be considered during direct selection for improving panicle diameter and mango quality.
