Abstract: Evaluation of fruit crops has been successfully utilized for studying the performance of varieties under different agro climatic regions. The main aim of the research was to investigate the physical attributes of different mango genotypes at Horticultural College and Research Institute (TNAU), Periyakulam during 2017-18. Outcome of the present research work revealed that the maximum fruit weight (315.08 g), fruit width (9.20 cm), fruit volume (345 cc), stone weight (33.82 g), pulp weight (252.85 g), pulp percentage (80.25 %), pulp to stone ratio (7.48:1) and pulp to peel ratio (8.90:1) was obtained in Au Rumani, while, the maximum fruit length (15.20 cm), stone length (8.36 cm) and stone width (4.48 cm) was recorded in Shajahan. The genotype Ratna was recorded significantly maximum specific gravity (1.76 g/cc). The maximum peel weight (29.86 g) and peel thickness (1.86 mm) was recorded significantly in Kundur Pacharisi and Sendhuram respectively; whereas, the maximum stone percentage (19.91 %) and peel percentage (16.25 %) was recorded in Kovankachi and P.K. Patti respectively. Hence, it can be concluded that the genotype Au Rumani was found superior in terms of pulp weight, fruit weight, pulp percentage, pulp to stone ratio and pulp to peel ratio.
