Pusa Pratibha Mango Plant, Color : Red

Pusa Pratibha: It is a hybrid of Amrapali x Sensation, regular in bearing, attractive fruit shape, bright red peel and orange pulp. The red peel colour on golden yellow background makes it very appealing to the buyers. It has oblong shape, uniform sized fruits. It meets all the requirements for the domestic as well as international markets. It has 7 to 8 days shelf- life at room temperature after ripening, which is twice as much commercial mango varieties grown in the north India, i.e.Dushehari. The plants are semi-vigorous and about 278 plants of this hybrid may be accommodated in a hectare (6 m x 6 m) as against 100 plants of Dushehari (10 m x 10 m). Therefore, it will give higher productivity per unit area. On per plant basis, it yields about 3.0 times higher than Dushehari, which includes ‘On’ and ‘Off’ year fruiting. It has good sugar: acid blend and above all uniformity in fruit size, which is lacking in Amrapali. It was released in 2012
