| Abstract | ||
| The study included 7 mango cultivars which are grown in the orchard of Pomology Department at the Faculty of Agriculture, Assiut University during two successive seasons of 2021 and 2022.These cultivars were Zebda, Langra, Maksudy, Heidi, Kent, Naomi, Keitt as well as 5 sexual strains. The study was conducted on five replicates of each cultivar. The objective of the present study was to evaluate and describe the main fruit characteristics of such mango cultivars and strains grown in Assiut Governorate Egypt. The present study also observed that there were variations among the studied cultivars and sexual strains in terms of flowering and harvesting dates. However, there were synchronization on the time of new vegetative growth appearing. The obtained results showed that there were significant differences between Heidi cultivar and the other mango cultivars and strains during the 2nd season of study in tern of leaf area. The current study revealed that Zebda and Maksudy followed by Kent mango cultivars recorded the highest values of fruit weight and size (length and diameter) as well as pulp and peel weight. However, the sexual strains exhibited the lowest values. Concerning the number of embryos was identical during both seasons and the average of them. Zebda produced the highest number of embryos (3.8) followed by Maksudy (2) while the other mango cultivars and Strains seed were mono embryonic. | ||
