Abstract
Fusarium moniliforme var.subglutinans Wr. etRg. causes malformations of mango inflorescences that finally fail to fruit. The host-cultivar Himsagar showed higher contents of total saccharides, chlorophyll and protein than the cultivar Bombai. Considerable loss in saccharides and chlorophyll contents and increase in protein content as a result of malformation of inflorescence was recorded in both the host-cultivars which progressed with time.
