Abstract

The work with mango and avocado germ plasm at the U. S. Plant Introduction Station, Miami, has involved introduced cultivars and seedling populations derived from introductions. Dependable productivity and disease resistance are of first importance, as are horticultural quality and extension of the season of ripening at both ends. In addition, cold tolerance is an objective with the avocados. Few introduced cultivars of either crop are sufficiently attractive in all respects to justify extensive cultivation, but can be valuable in specialized situations and as parents. Outstanding seedling selections are under test and this aspect of the work shows promise.
