Mango fruits of eight cultivars and seven hybrids grown in Tungabhadra Project area were subjected to physico-chemical appraisal. The data revealed that members of hybrid group in general possessed more desirable parameters as compared to those of cultivar group with the exception of Cvs. Alumpur Baneshan, Khadar and Mulgoa, Fruits of Alumpur Baneshan, Khadar, Neeleshan and Mallika were marked for higher fruit weight and pulp content while those of Neeluddin, AU-Rumani, Pairi and Alumpur Baneshan for high TSS. Neeluddin, Mallika and AU-Rumani had exceptionally high TSS/acid ratio (195.8, 73.2 and 68.1 respectively). Most of the members were optiomally ripe 7 days following harvest and fruits of Neeleshan and Mulgoa were found firm for processing even beyond 10 days. Fruits of Mallika, Khadar, Neelgoa, Baneshan and Alumpur Baneshan recorded retarded physiological losses in weight during ripening.
