Abstract
The mango is a major fruit crop in tropical and subtropical regions of the world.
There are numerous mango cultivars being cultivated around the world, including the Arabian Peninsula.
Mangos were introduced into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the 1980s from India, Egypt, and Florida of the United States.
In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Jazan region which is in the South-West of the country is the major producing zone for mangos.
An overview of the performance and adaptation of the different mango cultivars in the Jazan province, including the environmental and growing conditions, regional distribution, rootstocks, and horticultural practices are addressed in this paper.
The information has been collected by the process of visiting local farmers and researchers from Agricultural Research Centre, Jazan, Saudi Arabia.
