A comparative trial based on 15-year-old mango orchards consisting of 20 varieties, including five specific varieties from each zone in India, was conducted at Mohanpur, Nadia, in the Gangetic alluvial zone of West Bengal and at Paria in Valsad District, Gujarat, with each variety observed and evaluated in terms of the physico-chemical characters of its fruits and growth prospects of its plants. Significant variations were observed in almost all the varieties, with Mallika at the Mohanpur orchard found to be the best variety for its regularity in bearing, high yield (84.30Kg pl^-1), keeping quality (11 days), better fruit qualities (TSS 19.41 0 Brix, acidity 0.31%) and precocity (four years), while the Bangalora variety at Paria recorded the significantly highest yield of 32.09Kg pl^-1.
