Effect of orchard location on russeting and lenticel frequency and lenticel area in cv. ‘Apple’ mango.

The sites were selected based on their differences in altitude—meters above sea level (m.a.s.l.). The climatic variables include: cumulative rainfall, relative humidity (RH), minimum and maximum temperatures. Severity of russet was quantified on a 0 to 4 scoring scheme: Score 0: 0% of the fruit surface area russeted; score 1: 1–10% russeted area; score 2: 11–25% russeted area; score 3: 26–50% russeted area; and score 4: 51–100% russeted area. Data is presented as means ± standard errors. N = 200 (Russeting score) and 40 (lenticel frequency and lenticel area).
