Abstract:
Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is one of the most important fruit crop of India. The study on “Performance of different table varieties of mango (Mangifera indica L.) for growth and yield under Ultra high density planting in Telangana state” was conducted in Randomized Block Design with six table varieties. Each variety was considered as a treatment with four replications. The present study revealed that the tree height (1.64 m), tree spread (2.04 m and 2.05 m) (N-S and E-W direction) and stem girth (17.15 cm) were minimum in Alphonso. Alphonso (27.40 cm) and Suvarnarekha (26.84 cm) had maximum leaf length whereas Baneshan (5.18 cm) and Kesar (4.92 cm) recorded maximum leaf breadth. Panicle initiation (195.50 days) was early in Mahamooda Vikarabad, whereas Alphonso recorded lesser number of days for 50% (13.54 days) and complete flowering (29.08 days). Early fruit maturity (83.62 days) was attained by Baneshan. Mahamooda Vikarabad produced maximum number of fruits/tree (38.25) whereas individual fruits of Himayat had highest fruit weight (408.87 g). Suvarnarekha recorded maximum yield/tree (8.11 kg/tree).
