| The
effect of coloured poly-covers (control, white, red, green, blue and
yellow) on flowering of mango (cv. Sunderja) was studied during October
1996 to February 1997. Covering twigs with coloured poly-covers
influenced flowering. The highest rates of flowering shoots, healthy
panicles and hermaphrodite flowers, the longest panicles, and the
highest numbers of branchlets/panicle and flowers/panicle were recorded
in the red poly-cover treatment. This treatment was better than the
control, white and yellow poly-cover treatments, but was at par with the
other treatments. The lowest rate of floral malformation, the lowest
incidence of male flowers and the lowest ratio of hermaphrodite to male
flowers (1:3.05) were also observed in the red poly-cover treatment. |
