Abstract : Fruits of Taimuria and Sukul mango cvs were picked at 5-day intervals from 15 June to 20 July and 25 June to 20 July, respectively. Data are presented on their chemical composition when picked and after ripening at 35 deg C. Specific gravity, TSS percentage and starch:acid ratio were considered to be the best indices of maturity. The optimum times of harvest were the second weeks of July and August for each cv., respectively.
