Abstract : A trial was conducted to evaluate the performance of 11 cultivars (Baneshan, Bangalora, Mulgoa, Neelum, Swarnrekha, Alphonso, Kesar, Mankurad, Fernandin, Vanraj and Langra) in Bihar, India, on 12-year-old plants during 1991-93. Fruit set was highest in Mankurad and Bangalora (61.45 and 60.38, respectively) and lowest in Baneshan (9.57). Fruits matured from 88.17 to 119.50 days with specific gravity ranging from 1.034 to 1.067. Langra, Bangalora, Kesar, Neelum and Baneshan were the highest yielders. Neelum produced the highest number of fruits per tree (187.67), Bangalora recorded the highest fruit weight per tree (39.61 kg/tree), and Langra produced the highest pulp weight per tree (27.93 kg/tree).
