Twenty mango (Mangifera indica L.) genotypes were evaluated for fruit characters and quality attributes at Horticultural Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, B A College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, during 2013. There was a variation among genotypes. The maximum fruit yield (100.25 kg) and fruit length (11.02 cm) were recorded in Totapuri, whereas GAMLS-2, showed maximum fruit width (7.49 cm) and fruit volume (535.53 cc). The fruits of Vasi Badami were heaviest (367.67 g) with pulp weight (222.48 g). Minimum peel weight (16.45 g) and stone weight (14.03 g) were found in GAMLS-34. While, maximum pulp: stone ratio (11.88) was observed in Amrutang. Maximum TSS (22.15%) and reducing sugar (8.96%) were recorded in Dashehari, whereas minimum acidity (0.P21%) was found in Amrapali. The heighest non-reducing sugar (11.34%) was observed in GAMLS-67, whereas maximum total sugar (18.05%) was found in GAMLS-30.
