Harvest of ‘Nam Dokmai #4’ mango fruit (Mangifera indica L.)
on a research orchard (18◦51
8N, 99◦2
53E, 320 m a.s.l.; Falling Rain
Genomics, 1996–2010) of San Sai experimental station (ChiangMai,
northern Thailand) comprised five dates during the main harvest
season in April–May 2008. This was at the expected usual commercial
harvest time (UCH) of this cultivar (N3) as well as 2 dates
before (N1–N2) and 2 after (N4–N5)it. UCH, i.e.the time when local
growers harvested the fruit in the parts of this orchard, which were
reserved for commercial purposes in season 2008, corresponded
to recommended picking of ‘Nam Dokmai #4’ fruit ∼100 d after
full bloom (DAFB) (Plant Varieties Protection Division, 2001) and
coincided with the experimental harvest N3 (103 DAFB; 7 May
2008). For this study, the harvest period thus began 91 DAFB, with
subsequent harvest of 85–115 kg of fruit every 6 d
