Flowering and fruiting behaviour studied in five important cultivars of mango viz. Langra, Bombai, Zardalu, Bangalora and Hemsagar. The bud break, the appearance of 50% flower in panicle and fruit set was noticed in different time among the cultivars. The flowering intensity (%), the percentage of hermaphrodite flower (%), inflorescence shape and colour, inflorescence length and breadth (cm) significantly differed among the cultivars. The fruiting behaviour like fruit set (%), fruit drop (%), number of fruits per tree and fruit weight (g) was also significantly varied among the cultivars. The earlier bud break, the appearance of 50% flower in panicle and fruit set was observed in cv. Bombai and late in cv. Hemsagar during both the years 2015 and 2016. The statistically pooled result of the year 2015 and 2016 recorded the maximum flowering intensity percentage (62.05%) and inflorescence length (27.72cm) was observed in cv. Bangalora, whereas a higher percentage of hermaphrodite flowers (16.55%) and inflorescence breadth (21.00cm) was in cv. Zardalu. In respect to maximum fruit set per cent (2.82%) was found in cv. Hemsagar, maximum fruit drop per cent (97.70%) in cv. Langra, a higher number of fruits per tree (348.25 fruits/tree) in cv. Bombai and maximum fruit weight (490.11g) in cv. Bangalore.
Maize is the third most important crop in India after rice and wheat (Al-Swailem et al., 2005;Yadav et al., 2014). It is under cultivation across the globe, including tropical, subtropical and temperate regions, from sea level to 3000 m above sea level. The Composition per 100 g of edible portion of maize (dry) is Protein 11.1g, Fat 3.6 g, Fibre 2.7 g, Calories 342, Amino acids 1.78 mg, Carbohydrates 66.2 g, Calcium 10 mg, Iron
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
