| Abstract:
The mango crop in Brazil, despite of its vigor, present some serious problems, mainly related to varieties. The objective of this research was to select superior plants with prupose to obtain new brazilian varieties. The work was developed in Jabotical, São Paulo State (Brazil) where was established 210 plants, propagated seeds from open pollination, of 11 varieties. Were evaluated characteristics of plant, inflorescence and fruit. The manto propagation through the seeds promoted a great genetic variability; in some fruit features, the progenies supassed the female progenitor or the standard varieties. It was possible select 11 plants, with the some of the main characteristics similar or superior to ‘Tommy Atkins’ and ‘Haden’ 2H'. | |
