The Introduction, Trial Cultivation And Selection Of Superior Cultivar Of Red Mango

The aim of the experiment is to introduce and cultivate some superior cultivars of red mango existing inside and outside China, and among these cultivars, we will select the fine ones which fit for the climate conditions of Guangxi province, and thus worth introducing and expanding the production in this area. The selected cultivars have a yield close to that of Zihua Mango(control cultivar), but have appearance and quality superior to Zihua Mango.In this experiment, we have tested 5 cultivars of red mango, and have compared and analysed their production, characteristics of flowering and bearing fruits, quality of fruits, etc. The experiment lasted for 5 years, and from Year 2001 the plants began to bear fruits. The highest average yield in the following consecutive 3 years is produced by Irwin Mango 1322.4 kg/667m~2, next come Haden Mango 1316.6 kg/667m~2, Zihua Mango 1139.7 kg/667m~2, Earlygold Mango 707.6 kg/667m~2, and the lowest is of Panxi Mango, only 298.7...
