Abstract : Five mango cultivars, Dashehari, Bombay Green, Langra, Chausa and Mallika, were evaluated for their performance under subtropical rainfed regions of Jammu, India. Chausa and Mallika were the most vigorous in vegetative growth. Dashehari fruits excelled in pulp percentage, and total soluble solids and reducing sugar contents. The fruits of Bombay Green matured on the 1st week of July, whereas the fruits of Chausa matured on the 4th week of July. On the basis of performance, Dashehari, Langra, Chausa, Mallika and Bombay Green, in descending order, are recommended for commercial cultivation under subtropical rainfed regions of Jammu.
