The present investigation entitled “Biochemical evaluation of mango (Mangifera indica L.) cv. Kesar at Saurashtra region” was carried out at Department of Horticulture and Food Testing Laboratory, College of Agriculture, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh during the year 2013-14. Nine different locations from Saurashtra region were selected for this experiment viz., Una, Mendarda, Bhushan, Junagadh (Sakkarbaug), Talala, Vanthali, Dhari, Aditya, and Ghogha. The harvested sample fruits from different locations were cleaned, ripened at room temperature in paper boxes than used for further biochemical evaluation. The experiment was conducted in Completely Randomized Design. The myth has been proven to be real from this scientific study. From the conducted experiment over nine different locations, it can be concluded that the Talala is more congenial for mango cv. Kesar or it can be truly said that mango orchards located at/near Talala region produce better quality fruits as compared to others.
