Effects of climate change on flowering and yield of mango cv. Kesar*
It is recommended to scientific community that the climatic parameters like temperature, humidity, rainfall, bright sun shine hours and wind velocity influenced the flowering, fruit setting, fruit dropping, number of fruit per plant and fruit yield. Higher day temperature with lower night temperature as well as more fluctuation in day & night temperature disturb the flowering, pollination and fruit setting process. Similarly, higher humidity, dew, late rain or off seasonal rain during flowering also affects adversely. Mango requires 25-30 0C day temperature & 15-18 0C night temperature, 40-45% humidity, no dew formation, lower late rain (September), higher sun shine hours (8-9 hrs.) during floral bud initiation, flowering and fruit setting.

Estimation of effect of growing degree days (GDD) on phenology, flowering and yield on different mango varieties under Saurashtra Agro-climatic condition
It is observed that the growing degree days (GDD) have direct influence on BDS, flowering, fruit set and various fruit development stages, but not for the physical characters of fruits. The GDD requirements of different varieties were found unique and a mango variety Kesar requires low GDD for maturity with higher Heat Use Efficiency.

|
The climatic parameters like temperature, humidity and rainfall influence the flowering, fruit setting, fruit retention percentage, fruit yield and disease-pests incidence. More humidity and off seasonal rain during March-April insist the first and second reproductive flush and adversely affects the third flush. Optimum temperature and rain leads to more fruit set. Heavy rain during fruit set also tends to more drop with less fruit retention percentage. Mealy bug population is decreasing with increasing rain, whereas, black spot decreases when wind speed is less. Custard apple requires 30-35 0C temperature during flowering and fruit setting, 75-90% humidity and 600-1400 mm even distributed rainfall. Off seasonal rain disturbs the flowering pattern and adversely affects the crop.
