Abstract : Ten mango cultivars were inoculated with F. subglutinans [Gibberella fujikuroi var. subglutinans] in July 2000 under protected environmental conditions, namely Bourbon IAC-100, Coracao de Boi, Keitt, Parvin, Primor de Amoreira, Sensation, Smith, Surpresa, Tommy Atkins and Van Dyke. Another group of cultivars was inoculated in December 2000, i.e. Adams, Bhadauran, Palmer, Princesa and Zill, as well as Primor de Amoreira, Sensation and Tommy Atkins, to compare the effect of 2 periods of inoculation. No malformation symptoms were observed in Bhadauran, while plants of Palmer, Parvin, Sensation, Van Dyke and Zill presented lower percentage of symptoms than the other inoculated cultivars.
