Abstract
Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is one of the most important tropical fruits and they have been cultivated since many years in southern region of Baluchistan. However in most of the mango gardens, trees are cultivated by seeds, then seedlings are characterized by noticeable genetic diversities and consequently the fruits have often low quality and don't present good marketing interest. Also the diversity in tree features causes serious difficulties in managing gardens and endures costly expenses for gardeners. In order to suggest to farmer superior cultivars for marketing, from 2007 to 2012 a research was performed assessing the mango diversity by determination of phonotypical characteristic of mango genotypes cultivated in Sistan and Baluchistan province. The experimental strategy consisted a randomized complete clock design of five superior selected genotypes.An experimental unit was constituted by 3 grafted trees planted at 8x8 m distance each other and three units was used for each of the five selected genotype with a total 60 studied plants. Data showed that the tree heights among the different genotypes were not statistically significant. Conversely 1 % of significant difference in the shoot diameter was observed among the different selected genotypes. In particular genotype number 8 had the highest diameter (360 cm) in comparison with genotypes number 59 and 27 which presented a diameter of 263cm and 238cmrespectively and this genotype might be selected as superior genotype according to shoot diameter characteristic.
