Morphological Characterization of Selected Clones of Mango cv. Kiew Morakot

Abstract

Morphological studies of mango cv. Kiew Morakot based on quantitative and qualitative characteristics revealed that there was a variation among selected clones. The appropriate characteristics for identification of Kiew Morakot clones were fully-mature peel color, weight groups, and width to thickness ratio of the fruit. The studies were carried out in 2005-2006. Morphological characterization of 20 mango accessions based on the three combined characters was inconsistent during the two years, as being divided into  5 individuals and 6 groups in 2005, and 1 individual and 5 groups in 2006.
