A field experiment was conducted to study the impact of temperature and relative humidity on flowering and fruiting behaviours of different mango varieties in Central Plain Zone of Uttar Pradesh during the fruiting year 2017-18 in the Garden of the Department of Horticulture, C.S. Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with 3 replications. Seven varieties of mango were taken into consideration. Flowering and fruiting attributes as influenced of temperature and relative humidity differed significantly in different varieties. Dasheri initiated first panicle on 20th January and taken maximum days in panicle initiation and open flower first and reached to 50% and 100% flowers opening earliest among all varieties, followed by local. Dasheri recorded longest panicle size (31.4cm) among all mango varieties followed by Chausa (27.1 cm) and Amrapali (25 cm). Dasheri recorded highest number of male (831.7) and hermaphrodite (361.7) flowers followed by Amarapali, Chausa and Local. The maximum sex ratio was noted under Bombay Green that may be due to more number of hermaphrodite flowers as compared to male flowers. It is concluded that mango variety Dasheri being emerged first panicle and taken maximum days in panicle initiation, open first flower first and reached to 50% and 100% flowers opening earliest with record longest panicle size among all mango varieties with highest numbers of male and hermaphrodite flowers and hence, found most suitable for this region.
