Abstract : The yield and yield characters of 9 mango cultivars (Meghlanthan, Totapuri, Kishanbhog, Langra, Bombay Yellow, Bombay Green, Himsagar, Neelum and Alphonso) in the alluvial zone of West Bengal, India were evaluated during 2003. The parameters tested included: fruit length, fruit breadth, fruit weight, pulp percentage, peel percentage, stone percentage, pulp:peel, stone percentage, pulp:peel, pulp:stone, peel:stone, total soluble solids content (TSS), total sugars, reducing and non-reducing sugar contents, acidity, ascorbic acid content and TSS:acid ratio. Cultivars Himsagar, Langra and Kishanbhog showed better yield potential, and physical and chemical properties than the other cultivars.
