 ABSTRACT

Nine different varieties of mango were selected at Fruit Research Station, Sakkarbaug, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh falls under South Saurashtra Agro-climatic Zone during the year 2016-2017 for determining the correlation of dependent variables of flowering characters along with their weather parameters viz., maximum & minimum temperature, day & night temperature, rainfall, Relative humidity, wind speed and bright sunshine hours of independent characters through correlation coefficients analysis in mango as to estimate the contribution of most important characters towards yield. The results revealed that, the temperatures (max/min& day/night) and bright sunshine hours had highly significant and negative correlation with days to flower initiation, fruit set  and male flower (%) while, it showed highly significant positive relation with width of panicle, no. of panicle/tree and hermaphrodite flower (%). Similarly, relative humidity had highly significant positive association with days to flower initiation, fruit set and male flower (%) while, it showed highly significant negative relation with no. of panicle/tree and hermaphrodite flowers (%).Post-monsoon rain was not significant correlation but it was positive i.e. later rain resulted to late flowering. All climatic parameters except relative humidity and wind speed showed significant positive correlation total no. of flowers/panicle and non-significant but positive with various panicle characters in mango.

Key words: Mango, Correlation Study, Climatic Parameters, Flowering Characters
