Abstract : The present studies were undertaken to ascertain the performance of mango varieties stone on germination. The present investigation revealed that minimum and maximum days taken for mango stone germination was observed under treatment T5 (Langra, 10.00 days) and T3 (Totapuri, 21.67 days), respectively and for stone germination per cent highest was in Local-2 (57.18) and lowest in T2 (Badam, 28.41) and for height of mango root stock at 30, 60 and 90 DAS was observed maximum in T6 (Rajapuri, 25.17, 29.61 and 39.36 cm, respectively) and minimum in T2 (Badam, 20.00, 23.50 and 29.47 cm, respectively). However, the girth of mango root stock at 30, 60, 90 DAS was observed maximum in treatment T9 (Local-3, 2.37, 2.76 and 2.90 cm, respectively) and minimum in treatment T5 (Langra, 1.90, 2.29 and 2.55 cm, respectively). The maximum number of leaves per plant after 30 and 60 DAS was observed maximum under treatment T1 (Kesar, 6.33 and 10.80, respectively) and for 90 DAS T6 (Rajapuri, 15.40) and minimum in treatment for 30 DAS was T5 (Langra, 4.33) for 60 DAS minimum was recorded in the treatment T4, T5 and T10 (Dashehari, Langra, and Local-4, 7.13) and for 90 DAS the minimum was recorded in the treatment T4 (Dashehari, 11.33).
