Correlation studies in mango with different physical parameters were carried out during 2015-16 at Fruit research station, Sangareddy, Telangana. The data on correlation coefficient of yield and its component characters reveals that yield per tree was significantly and positively correlated with percent flowering (0.760*) and number of fruits per tree (0.988**), where as negatively correlated with vegetative buds percent (-0.793*) and with number of days taken for panicle initiation (-0.749*). Among the other physical parameters percent flowering was negatively correlated with vegetative buds percent (-0.861**) and days taken for panicle initiation (-0.865**) and positively correlated with number of fruits per tree (0.756*). Among the quality parameters the data showing that yield is positively correlate with total sugars (0.824*) and TSS : acidity ratio (0.853*) where as negatively correlate with ascorbic acid (-0.939**).
