Abstract : A study on characteristics of 88 mango cultivars, 37 Exotic cultivars and 51 Local cultivars at Pakchong Research station, Pakchong district, Nakhon Ratchasima province were studied as the basic information for researching aspect of mango such as canopy, leaf shape, flower shape, fruit shape and evaluation of agricultural description of mangoes such as fruit size, fruit weight, peel weight, flesh weight, seed weight, skin thickness, color of skin of ripe fruit, color of ripe flesh, the percentage of the sugar and flowering. The information of them was collected in the plant database of mango book to be used for adjusting mango cultivars. The result of the study on characteristics of 88 mango cultivars could be collected the information of 44 mango cultivars completely but other 44 mango cultivars were incomplete because the problems of low temperature during flowering effected to bearing fruit and spreading of diseases and insects resulted to many mangoes damaged. The problems caused the information collecting incompletely. The study was therefore incompletely. The study could be continued to be completely for breeding utilization.
