Pruning is an unavoidable necessity of virtually all arboreal fruit crops. In the tropics and subtropics, pruning of mango (Mangifera indica L.) is particularly important due to its tendency for frequent flushes, especially in humid tropics. Commercial orchards must maintain control of both tree size and orchard productivity in order to remain productive. Tip, formation, and severe pruning can ...

Objectives: This study was carried out to assess the histomorphological findings of the liver of Plasmodium-infected albino mice following administration of aqueous leaf extract of Mangifera indica. Methods: Forty-two male albino mice, weighing 20–25 g, were used for this research. The mice were randomly assigned into six groups A, B, C, D, E and F (n=7, each). Groups B, C, D, E and F were infe...

The leaves of Mangifera indica L. (Anacardiaceae) is used as a medicinal material in traditional herb medicine for a long time in India, China, and other Eastern Asian countries. Our present study investigated the therapeutic effects of the ethanol extract from Mangifera indica (EMI) in rat with monosodium urate (MSU) crystals-induced gouty arthritis. Effects of EMI (50, 100, and 200 mg/kg, p.o...

Lipofundin is a lipid rich emulsion used in parenteral nutrition. It is known that Lipofundin induces an oxidative stress state characterized by an increase of lipid peroxidation and a dramatic depletion of antioxidants. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of an aqueous extract of Mangifera indica L., on Lipofundin-induced oxidative stress. Male Sprague Dawley rats were tre...

This is the first register of Sinoxylon conigerum attacking timber of teak (Tectona grandis L.f.), mango tree (Mangifera indica L.) and (Astronium fraxinifolium Schott) in the municipalities of Cuiabá and Várzea Grande, State of Mato Grosso, Brazil.

The present work reveals the carbon sequestration potential of eight selected species of trees which predominate in the Golapbag campus of the University of Burdwan in the West Bengal state of India with an objective to find their utilitarian value in environmental optimization of the area and landscape designing for aesthetic rejuvenation. It was found that Swietenia mahagoni successively foll...

Photosynthesis is an important physiological response for determination of CO₂ fertilization in greenhouses and estimation of crop growth. In order to estimate the whole plant photosynthetic rate, it is necessary to investigate how light interception by crops changes with environmental and morphological factors. The objectives of this study were to analyze plant light interception using a three...

abstract mango is one of the most important tropical fruits in iran and salinity is an important problem to mango production in ‘hormozgan’ province and other mango growing areas in iran. at present experiment the effects of saline irrigation water of different sodium chloride concentration on vegetative growth and ion content of mango was evaluated. treatments comprised two type of cultivars (...

abstract the effect of different levels of potassium permangenate (kmno4) on quality of mango fruits were studied over a period of 21 days. a factorial trial in the form of complete randomized design as three levels of kmno4 (0, 5 or 10 g. kg-1 fruit) and three time period (7, 14 or 21 days) was used. means were compared using duncan’s test (p< 0.05). compositional parameters (ph, acidity, tota...

Mango (Mangifera indica L.), an edible fruit, is one of the main agricultural products in many tropical regions. Mango varieties differ in not only fruit shape but also aroma, which is an important characteristic. Although the fruit has many uses, the seeds are discarded as waste. Therefore, this study aimed to estimate the fatty acid content of seed oil of mangoes from different cultivation ar...
