Evaluation of Growth and Productivity of Some Mango Varieties Grown under Aswan Climatic Conditions

Abstract

Ten mango varieties Hindy Bisinnara, Zebda, Mabrouka, Taimour, Alphonse, Dabsha, Ewaise, Sukkary, Keitt and Kent grown in a private mango orchard at Wady El-Nokra region, were evaluated under Aswan governorate climatic conditions during two successive experimental seasons of 2011 and 2012 years. Evaluation parameters included: growth characters, flowering aspects, fruit setting %, fruit dropping %, yield per tree and fruit physicals and chemicals properties were determined in these mango varieties. Results showed that there was a wide and major variation of these parameters among the studied varieties. Mango cv., in descending order is recommended to be cultivated successfully under Aswan conditions, based on their higher yields and relatively better fruit quality.
