Studies on morphological evaluation of mango varieties in norther parts (Terai region) of West Bengal

Abstract

Studies were carried out on mango varieties developed at Experimental Farm of Uttar Banga Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Pundibari, Cooch Behar, West Bengal, during 2010-2012. The experiment was laid out one factor randomized block design with five replications having 10 varieties as treatments. Observations were recorded on various morphological parameters such as qualitative characters. From the observations made it was found that the mango varieties expressed the morphological variations from genotype to genotype. These morphological variations have the ability to distinguish between the mango varieties with each other. Among different varieties Amrapali, J. Dofala, Mallika, Gulab Khas and Dashehari is best in this region beside of some negligible demerits and these varieties can be commercially grown to contribute the state in terms of production to some extent.
