Correlation analysis in different varieties of mango (Mangifera indica)

The studies were undertaken to correlate various physical properties, chemical qualities and yield characters in mango (Mangifera indica). The length and width of fruit were positively correlated with pulp percentage, it means that edible portion of fruits increased along with size of the fruits. Negative association in length and width was observed with specific gravity, peel percentage and stone percentage. The reducing sugar was not associated significantly with other chemical qualities of fruits. Positive correlations were observed between non-reducing sugars, total sugars and T S S. Average number of fruits/tree was found positively correlated with average fruit yield/tree, but it was non-significant and negatively correlated with average weight per fruit.
