Relationship between lenticel discoloration and biochemical and quality attributes in mango (Mangifera indica L.) fruit

Evaluation of fruit crops has been successfully utilized for studying the performance of varieties under different agro climatic regions time to time. In the present study cultivars were characterized on the basis of their physico-biochemical attributes. “Mallika” and “Neelgoa” were found superior in terms of fruit weight (321.87 g), size (12.55 cm, 8.13 cm), pulp weight (257.91 g) and pulp stone ratio (7.71) respectively. “Mallika” excelled in terms of sugar (20.82), while “Amrapali” in carotenoids (8.38 mg/100 g). Among them, Mallika (22.41◦B) possessed the high-est amount of total soluble solids while lowest amount in Langra (16.90 ◦B) whereas maximum titrable. The study shows the potential of Amrapali in terms of its quality, being late can meet the demand for later period when no other cultivar is available.

Yield And Quality

Abstract Deficiency of micronutrients in soil is one of major cause for poor quality of mango fruit and yield. In addition, consumption of such diet also causes deficiency of micronutrients in humans. Among different micronutrients deficiency of boron is very common. It adversely affects flowering and pollen tube formation, thus played key role in decreasing the yield and quality attributes of mango. To overcome such problem, soil and foliar application of B is considered the efficacious methods. That’s why under changing climatic condition, a field experiment was conducted to explore the most suitable method and application rate of B in mango under current climatic scenario. There were nine treatments applied in three replications. Results showed that application of T8=RD+Borax (75 g plant-1 as basal application)+H3BO3 (0.8% as foliar spray) and T9=RD+Borax (150 g plant-1 as basal application)+H3BO3 (0.8% as foliar spray) significantly enhanced nitrogen, potassium, proteins, ash, fats, fiber and total soluble solids in mango as compared to control. A significant decrease in sodium, total phenolics contents, antioxidant activity and acidity as citric acid also validated the efficacious functioning of T8=RD+Borax (75 g plant-1 as basal application)+H3BO3 (0.8% as foliar spray) and T9=RD+Borax (150 g plant-1 as basal application)+H3BO3 (0.8% as foliar spray)over control. In conclusion T8=RD+Borax (75 g plant-1 as basal application)+H3BO3 (0.8% as foliar spray) and T9=RD+Borax (150 g plant-1 as basal application)+H3BO3 (0.8% as foliar spray)is an effective strategy to improve quality attributes of mango under changing climatic situation.

Mean Square Errors

Evaluation of impact damage to mango (Mangifera indica Linn) as a result of dropping from three different heights, namely, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 m, was conducted by hyperspectral imaging (HSI). Reflectance spectra in the 900–1700 nm region were used to develop prediction models for pulp firmness (PF), total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA) and chroma (∆b*) by a partial least squares (PLS) regression algorithm. The results showed that the changes in the mangoes’ quality attributes, which were also reflected in the spectra, had a strong relationship with dropping height. The best predictive performance measured by coefficient of determination (R2) and root mean square errors of prediction (RMSEP) values were: 0.84 and 31.6 g for PF, 0.9 and 0.49 oBrix for TSS, 0.65 and 0.1% for TA, 0.94 and 0.96 for chroma, respectively. Classification of the degree of impact damage to mango achieved an accuracy of more than 77.8% according to ripening index (RPI). The results show the potential of HSI to evaluate impact damage to mango by combining with changes in quality attributes.

An experiment was carried out at the BAU Germplasm Centre, Department of Horticulture, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh to investigate the effect of irrigation on harvesting time, yield and quality attributes of mango cv. BARI Aam -3 (Amrapali) during the period from September 2005 to July 2006. There were seven treatments in the experiment viz., Irrigation at 15th October, Irrigation at 15 October and 15 November, Irrigation at 15th of each month starting from October and continued up to December, Irrigation at 15th of each month starting from October and continued up to January, Irrigation at 15th of each month starting from October and continued up to February, Irrigation at 15th of each month starting from October and continued up to March and Control (no irrigation). The plants those were irrigated twice on 15 October and 15 November exhibited the highest number of panicles per plant (137.33) compared to the lowest number of panicles per plant (9.00) in the treatment where irrigation was given at 15th of each month starting from October and continued up to March. Two irrigations at 15 October and 15 November produced the highest number of fruits per plant (61.67) and irrigation applied on 15th of each month starting from October and continued up to December produced the lowest number of (11.00) fruits. Maximum yield (12.50 kg/plant) was recorded from the plants which were irrigated twice on 15 October and 15 November as compared to minimum yield (2.15 kg/plant) in plants irrigated on 15th of each month starting from October and continued up to December. Irrigation applied on 15th of each month starting from October to March resulted in the longest shelf life (7.28 days) as compared to control (5.63 days). Bangladesh J. Agril.
