Abstract : Pollination studies revealed self-incompatibility (some fruits set but failed to grow beyond 35 days after pollination) in mango cv. Langra. Initial fruit set was significantly better when the pollen parent cultivar was Chausa, Safeda, Malihabad, Fazri, Rataul, Surkha Burma, Bombay Green or Alfanso [Alphonso], but most of the resulting fruits dropped within 2 weeks of pollination. When cultivars Totapari and Dashehari were used as pollen parents, most of the young fruitlets dropped within 2 weeks of pollination, but a small percentage (10%) reached maturity. Dashehari is recommended as a pollenizer for Langra.
