Abstract : Studies were made of changes in the chlorophyll content of leaves of spring, rainy season and autumn flushes of several mango cvs. Leaf chlorophyll content rose for about 5 - 6 months, after which it declined. The spring flush leaves had the highest chlorophyll content, that of subsequent flushes being markedly lower.
