Field experiments were conducted for three years to assess the performance and select the cultivar ideally suited to Saurashtra region in Gujarat. The cultivars evaluated were Basrai, Harichal, Robusta, Gros Michel, Gandevi Selection and Lacatan. Of these, Gandevi Selection proved superior, with regard to growth parameters, yield characters and its attributes. It also yielded the highest benefit cost ratio.Keywords

The experiment was carried out at Hi-Tech Horticulture Park, Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh during 2008- 09. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications and nine treatments comprising of four levels each of GA3 (50, 100, 150 and 200 ppm) and CCC (1000, 2000, 3000 and 4000 ppm) along with control (Water spray) in protected condition. Among all treatments, an application of GA3 200 ppm is most effective treatment for increasing number of Flowers per plant, number of flowers per square meter, number of flower per hectare and vase life of rose flowers .From Economic point of view, GA3 200 ppm was found beneficial as compared to rest of the treatments. The highest net returns and CBR were obtained with GA3 200 ppm.

The present study was carried out at Department of Horticulture, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh under south Saurashtra agroclimatic conditions during year 2012-13 and 2013-14. The treatments comprised of three locations viz., Junagadh (L1), Talala (L2) and Dhari (L3) and three commercially important mango varieties viz., Kesar (V1), Alphonso (V2) and Rajapuri (V3). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with Factorial concept (FRBD) and replicated four times. Significantly minimum days for bud differentiation (166.46 days with 1402.94 GDD) were observed at Talala location. Early flower initiation (73.04 days with 420.36 GDD) and short flowering span (60.42 days with 444.69 GDD) was observed at Talala location. Among varieties, early flower initiation (75.83 days and 381.04 GDD) and compact flowering span (60.63 days with 382.84 GDD) was observed in Kesar. Minimum days for fruit set (24.33 with 131.61 GDD), pea stage (20.63 with 173.10 GDD), marble stage (42.96 days and 446.48 GDD), egg stage (69.17 days and 809.13 GDD) and maturity (93.75 days with 1272.06 GDD) were required at Talala, while early fruit set (24.00 with 100.63 GDD), pea stage (20.83 with 144.47 GDD), marble stage (43.67 days and 361.66 GDD), egg stage (70.54 days and 694.79 GDD) and maturity (95.88 days and 1062.71 GDD) was noted in Kesar. The highest fruit set at pea (13.84%), marble (1.57%), egg stage (0.31%) and fruit retention (1.39%) were recorded at Talala. Among varieties, maximum fruit set at pea stage (13.84%) was recorded in Alphonso; on the contrary, it was maximum at marble (1.60%), egg stage (0.32%) and fruit retention (1.32%) in Kesar. Maximum numbers of fruits per tree were recorded at Talala location (335.21) and Alphonso variety (344.33).
