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.
