Abstract

The present investigation was carried at Instructional-cum- Research farm of the Department of Horticulture, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri during 2020-2021 with ten mango varieties in Randomized Block design with three replications. To get full marketable potential it is important to evaluate the cultivars and also to get quality fruits it should be harvested at proper stage of maturity. The physico-chemical parameters were studied in present investigation. The data revealed that, Sai Sugandh recorded maximum length at marble stage (3.28 cm), egg stage (8.10 cm), mature stage (18.83 cm) and ripe stage (18.77 cm) of growth. Cultivar Rajapuri reported maximum diameter at ripe stage (12.87 cm), maximum fruit weight at egg stage (85.33 g), mature stage (603.00 g) and ripe stage (594.00 g) and maximum volume at mature stage (593.33 ml) and at ripe stage (586.67 ml). Vanraj recorded maximum fruit volume at marble stage (7.77 ml) and egg stage (81.83 ml). Marked variation was observ
