| Abstract:
Twenty-eight mango cultivars were evaluated for internal fruit breakdown (IFB) related to fruit maturity at harvest green-ripe vs. full maturity. Significant differences in IFB sensitivity were observed among cultivars. IFB incidence was minimized in fruits harvested green-ripe. Some cultivars tolerated full-maturity harvesting quite well (notably ‘Edward’, ‘Gomera-1’ and ‘Ah Pingh’) while others proved to be extremely sensitive (‘Sensation’, ‘Gouveia’, ‘Kent’, ‘Van Dyke’, and ‘Osteen’). | |
