摘要

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is a newly introduced crop in Jordan, and scientific information on its adaptability, productivity, and fruit quality remains scarce. This study represents the first systematic assessment of the mango cultivars introduced under Jordanian field conditions. It will serve as a basis for the future expansion of mango production in Jordan. Therefore, this study was conducted over two successive growing seasons (2018 and 2019) in Ghour Al-Safi in the Jordan Valley (JV) to evaluate the growth, yield, and quality of three cultivars: ‘Keitt’, ‘Tommy Atkins’, and ‘Maya’. The experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications. Significant differences were observed among cultivars regarding yield and fruit characteristics. The ‘Keitt’ cultivar demonstrated the highest yield per tree across both seasons, followed by ‘Tommy Atkins,’ while ‘Maya’ yielded the lowest. Furthermore, genotype significantly influenced the fruit’s physical attributes, including weight, length, and width, with ‘Keitt’ producing the largest fruit. In contrast, ‘Maya’ had the highest total soluble solids (TSS) percentage, indicating greater sweetness. These results demonstrate that mangoes can be successfully grown in the arid conditions of the JV, with ‘Keitt’ and ‘Tommy Atkins’ proving to be promising cultivars for commercial production. This study lays a scientific basis for the introduction and optimization of mango cultivation in Jordan’s arid agro-ecosystems.
