Abstract:
The present investigation was carried out to find out the physico-chemical parameters of different mango genotypes at mango orchard of Rathindra Krishi Vigyan Kendra, near Palli-Siksha Bhavana (Institute of Agriculture), Sriniketan, Visva-Bharati, West Bengal, during period of 2014-2015. Total nine mango cultivars namely, Amrapali, Mallika, Kohitur, Ranipasand, Golabkhas, Bombai, Kohinoor, Enayat pasand and Safdar pasand were selected. Each treatment was replicated three times and each three represents a single replication. The observations were recorded as fruit weight (gm), fruit size (cm), volume of fruit (ml), pulp: stone ratio, TSS, acidity, TSS: acidity raito, reducing and total sugar. The evaluated varieties Mallika, Kohinoor and Enayat Pasand were found to be best with respect to physico-chemical parameters of fruits. These identified varieties can be good donor in hybridization programme to evolve the superior varieties under Rathindra Krishi Vigyan Kendra, near Palli-Siksha Bhavana (Institute of Agriculture), Sriniketan, Visva-Bharati, West Bengal.
