Conteúdo: | The physiological mechanisms of flowering in mango are still debated however, it is generally agreed that a period of quiescence is a prerequisite for floral induction. In subtropical climates quiescence is forced by low temperatures ( mean < 16.C ) during winter (Schaffer et al., 1994), but in tropical climates where mean daily temperatures rarely fall below 16.C, the situation is less clear. Anecdotal evidence suggests that a period of water stress in tropical climates predisposes mango to flowering . The aims of our research were to clarify the issue of water stress on flowering in mango under tropical conditions, looking at its effects on the percentage of terminals flowering and fruit yield.
