CHOKANAN THAI MANGO |
 |
Chokanan (Chooke Anan) - this is one of the most
popular varieties grown in Thailand and Malaysia for
local and export market. It is one of the sweetest
mangoes in the world and its average weight is 0.5
kilo per fruit. A ripe fruit of this variety is
referred to as Mangga Madu or Honey mango because of
its almost similar taste of honey. Green-mango
fanciers also favor this variety because it does not
taste too sour like our Carabao mango. Because of
its thick skin, it does not spoil easily and it is
resistant to pests and diseases.
Since 1999, our two-year old and above propagated
Chokanan trees bear fruits throughout the year
without the aid of flower inducers and even during
rainy season.

The
flowers of Chokanan could tolerate adverse weather
condition. It could also withstand the attack of pests and
diseases that spraying of insecticide and fungicide need not
be as intensive as in Carabao mango. Chokanan could be
substituted for Carabao mango during rainy or off-season. |
