For the study Mango varieties Mallika, Arka Anmol, Alphonso and Baneshan were selected and data was analyzed by using regression equation. The studies indicate that the highest water storage capacity was found in the variety Alphonso (149.81 mm) followed by Arka Anmol (140 mm), Mallika (139.81 mm) and lowest was in Baneshan (138.03 mm). The actual water utilized by tree worked out by using a water balance technique and it was found in the variety Alphonso (407.62 mm) followed by Mallika (401.28 mm) and Arka Anmol (389.98 mm), the highest total runoff 317.85 mm was recorded in case of Mallika and least 286.98 mm was observed in Baneshan. The influence of soil water storage on growth, flowering and fruiting is significantly influenced as compared to actual water utilized by the trees among the varieties, moisture and temperature influenced on number of flowers per panicle. The hybrid Mallika (283.45) was found to have more number of bisexual flowers where as less in case of Baneshan (78.00). The percentage of fruit set was more in Arka Anmol (9.20) and lowest in Baneshan (7.30), where as the fruit retention per panicle was more in case of Mallika (2.2 per cent). The fruits per tree was more in Mallika (150) and Alphonso (145) and lowest in Baneshan (80). The studies indicated that the moisture plays major role in the growth, flowering, fruit set and yield of Mango varietiesennullThesis
