Abstract : Ten mango hybrids (Amrapali, Mallika, Ratna, Neeleshan, Neeluddin, Prabhashankar, Mahmudbahar, IIHR-10, Sabri and IIHR-51), along with a local control (Langra), were evaluated during 2001 in Sabour, Bihar, India. Data were recorded for duration of panicle emergence, duration of flowering, number of flowers per panicle, sex ratio, fruit set and fruit retention. The maximum duration of panicle emergence was observed in Langra (55.11 days), IIHR-51 (45.39 days), Amrapali (44.86 days) and IIHR-10 (44.41 days). The duration of the flowering season ranged from 34.00 days in Langra to 12.00 days in Prabhashankar. The number of flowers per panicle ranged from 1010.66 in Ratna to 1559.66 in Neeleshan. Sex ratio varied from 2.46 in Amrapali to 4.72 in Sabri. Maximum fruit set (29.26%) and fruit retention (3.01%) were recorded in Amrapali.
