Abstract:A research experiment was conducted at the Fruit Research Station, Sakkarbag Farm, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh during the year 2013-14 to 2015-16 to study the evaluation of medium to large sized mango varieties under Saurashtra Agro Climatic Conditions. The experiment was laid out in 12 year mango trees with Randomized Block Design and three replications. Total seven varieties were under taken for the evaluation which falls under medium to large sized fruits
viz., Rajapuri, Langra, Jamadar, Jumbo kesar, Giriraj, Nileshan and Sonpari. On the basis of the results obtained from the present experiment it may be revealed that maximum plant height in Rajapuri and plant spread (E-W and N-S) in Sonpari was recorded. The maximum fruit length in Jumbo Kesar, fruit width, fruit weight, pulp weight were reported in Rajapuri, Jamadar recorded minimum stone weight. The minimum peel weight, maximum number of fruits per plant highest yield per plant and hectare were recorded in variety Sonpari. Sonpari also reported excellent quality parameters
viz., total soluble solid, reducing sugar and non-reducing sugar. Minimum acidity was reported in variety Langra, Jambo Kesar and Sonpari.
From different varietal evaluation of medium to large sized mango varieties, it concluded that the mango variety Sonpari was found the best for commercial growing in South Saurashtra Agro Climatic Conditions for yield and quality.
