An "unofficial" summary of the Hawaii standards for mango and the Draft Worldwide CODEX Standard are included.Item type: Item , Market Statistics for Mango(University of Hawaii, 1993-04) Nakamoto, StuartMarket statistics for Hawaii, the United States, and some foreign markets are presented.Item type: Item , The Mango Industry in the Americas(University of Hawaii, 1993-04) Davenport, TomCommercial mango production in Florida, Mexico, and Central America is discussed.Item type: Item , Growing Mangos in Hawaii: A Small Grower's Perspective(University of Hawaii, 1993-04) Yee, WarrenThe proprietor of an orchard in Waianae on the island of Oahu describes his experience, primarily with the cultivar Keitt.Item type: Item , Growing Mangos in Hawaii: A Commercial Grower's Perspective(University of Hawaii, 1993-04) Kai, SteveAn effort by C. Brewer and Company to establish a mango orchard near Pahala on the island of Hawaii is described.Item type: Item , A Molecular Marker System for Determining Mango Leaf Age(University of Hawaii, 1993-04) Sun, Samuel S.M.; Zhou, Xiaohui; Godfrey, Lynn; Liang, TungA molecular marking system for mango leaf proteins was described. It was hoped that knowing leaf age would help determine appropriate times for use of flowering stimulation techniques.Item type: Item , Engineering a Hydroponic System for Growing Mango Trees(University of Hawaii, 1993-04) Liang, T.; Paquin, D.; Wang, K.; Khan, M AkramMango trees were grown hydroponically in barrels for over three years. Attempts to determine optimal fertilizer levels or find an acceptable way to prune and shape the trees did not succeed.Item type: Item , Postharvest Physiology of Mango Fruit(University of Hawaii, 1993-04) Paull, Robert E.Mango postharvest characteristics as described in the world literature were reviewed. Work in Hawaii on the postharvest life of mangoes had been limited by lack of sufficient quantity of a selected variety, as there is varietal variation in susceptibility to postharvest disorders. It was suggested that a choice of one, two, or three varieties for commercial purposes was critical to development of a Hawaii mango industry.Item type: Item , Use of Potassium Nitrate on Mango Flowering(University of Hawaii, 1993-04) Nagao, Mike A.; Nishina, Melvin S.Review of the authors' experiments in Hawaii suggested that potassium nitrate did not induce flowering but probably stimulated growth of terminal buds, and flowering was determined by the condition of those buds or the environmental conditions at the time. Genotypic differences in response to the treatment were noted.Item type: Item , Mango Propagation Practices in a Commercial Nursery(University of Hawaii, 1993-04) Sekiya, FrankThis paper provides a brief overview of mango propagation practices. There was discussion of "dwarfing rootstocks," about which a university horticulturist present declared, on the basis of experiments, that "the dwarfing effect of rootstocks has been zero."Item type: Item , Origin and Classification of Mango Varieties in Hawaii(University of Hawaii, 1993-04) Hamilton, R.A.The history of mango cultivar introduction to Hawaii was reviewed. Tables listed cultivars suggested for home garden and commercial use, cultivars then undergoing testing, and cultivars tested but not recommended. Those considered best for commercial production were described, and taste panel scores for some of them were given.Item type: Item , Fruit Flies and Mango Seed Weevil in Relation to Quarantine(University of Hawaii, 1993-04) Mitchell, Wallace C.The author, an entomologist, reviewed the principal infestation barriers to mango export from Hawaii: fruit flies and the seed weevil. Because of these problems, he ventured that the total value of the conference participants' efforts and salaries for the three days of the event exceeded the annual value of commercial mango production in Hawaii.Item type: Item , Pesticides Registered for Mango(University of Hawaii, 1993-04) Kawate, MikeThe paper listed fungicides, insecticides, and herbicides registered in Hawaii at the time for use on mango.Item type: Item , Mango Diseases and Their Control(University of Hawaii, 1993-04) Nishijima, WayneThe principal diseases of mango fruit, flowers, leaves, stems, and roots were listed; anthracnose and powdery mildew were discussed in detail.Item type: Item , Mango Blossom Midge(University of Hawaii, 1993-04) Nakahara, Larry M.The mango blossom midge, Dasyneura mangiferae, previously known only in India, was first recorded in Hawaii in 1981. Its life cycle, distribution in Hawaii, and economic significance were discussed.Item type: Item , Highlights of the 4th International Mango Symposium (Florida)(University of Hawaii, 1993-04) Davenport, TomAbout 500 participants from 40 countries had attended the symposium in Miami Beach in 1992. The author gives highlights from the 75 oral presentations.Item type: Item , Irradiating Mango?(University of Hawaii, 1993-04) Moy, James H.Without an approved quarantine treatment for disinfesting mangoes of fruit flies and seed weevils, growes are not considering large-scale mango cultivation in Hawaii, but without adequate commercial planting, a market for fresh mangoes from Hawaii cannot be developed. The paper reviews irradiation processes in relation to this situation.Item type: Item , Market Niches for Mango Products(University of Hawaii, 1993-04) Hodgson, Aurora S.This marketing panel participant, a food processing expert, briefly described use of cull mangoes to create value-added products including fruit leather, pudding, beverages, canned and dried slices, jam, chutney, and crack seed.
