ABSTRACT

The number of flowers produced in mango is determined during the year before flowering through the processes of induction, initiation and floral differentiation. The number of fruits and their production will depend on the success of pollination, fecundation and fruit set processes. This chapter addresses topics related to these processes, starting from the vegetative shoot formation which results in flowering, and later to pollination and fruit development. It has been compiled using information from global research work including that carried out by the author in Mexico.
