Australian National Mango Breeding Program, Department Of Primary Industries And Regional Development, Western Australia
Horticulture factsheets
The Australian National Mango Breeding Program was initiated in 1994 between four state, territory and federal agricultural organisations.
The first outputs are three new hybrid mango varieties, known as NMBP-1201, NMBP- 1243 and NMBP-4069. In 2022 Mango Road Pty Ltd (part of the Manbulloo Group) was awarded the management rights for the NMBP mango varieties.
They were renamed Yess! (NMBP 1243), Ahhh! (NMBP-1201) and Gee! (NMBP-4069).
The Australian National Mango Breeding Program (NMBP) was initiated in 1994. The project was a collaboration between agricultural agencies in Western Australia, the Northern Territory, Queensland, and CSIRO.
The purpose was to develop superior …

Pruning is the cultural practice involving the removal of tree branches and limbs designed to enhance the performance and productivity of trees.
Ideally this is best done after harvest to prevent unwanted fruit loss. With citrus, correct pruning can improve yields, fruit quality, and make managing trees easier.
