Item Physiological parameters dictate bearing pattern in different mango cultivars: Study from sub-tropical India(Horizon e-Publishing Group, 2024) Tiwari D.K.; Patel V.B.; Barman K.; Verma R.B.; Pandey A.K.The bearing habit of mango has long been a subject of interest for pomolo-gists. The difference in bearing pattern among various mango cultivars is attributed to complex physiological interaction. Despite multiple studies on mango bearing, detailed investigations in this area remain limited. This study aims to explore the interrelationship between the bearing patterns and the associated physiological changes in different mango cultivars. The physiological parameters were examined at various growth stages in Bara-masi (a perennial bearer), Amrapali (a regular bearer) and Langra and Al-phonso (irregular bearer) of mango (Mangifera indica L.). Significant varia-tions were observed in chlorophyll content, internal carbon dioxide concen-tration, photosynthetic rate and flowering intensity. An increase in internal carbon dioxide concentration led to reduced carbon dioxide uptake, which impacted net photosynthesis production. A direct correlation between flow-ering intensity and photosynthetic rate was identified, while a nonlinear relationship between photosynthetic rate and total carbohydrate content was also noted. The study suggests that variations in the photosynthetic rate and the subsequent source-sink relationship may contribute to the differences in bearing patterns across mango cultivars. While further studies are needed for more conclusive results, this research can be valuable for pomologists, physiologists and breeders working with mango. � 2024 The Author(s).
