Abstract : The performance of mango cultivars from the south zone (Baneshan, Bangalora, Mulgoa, Neelum and Swarnekha) and from the west zone (Alphonso, Kesar, Mankurad, Fernandin and Vanraj) of India was evaluated in an experiment conducted in 1991-93. Neelum recorded the highest pooled number of leaves (9.22) and total leaf area per shoot (383.57 cm), whereas Kesar recorded the highest pooled area per leaf (47.03/m 2). Langra recorded the highest plant height (461.67 cm), girth (87.33 cm) and canopy area (33.55/m2).
