Sindhu
(Ratna x Alphonso Hybrid, Seedless Mango)
Sindhu is a revolutionary premium hybrid developed at the Fruit Research Station (FRS), Vengurla, by crossing Ratna and Alphonso. It is famous for its extremely thin and small stone, which gives it a very high pulp-to-stone ratio (often referred to as a "seedless" mango). It inherits the rich, aromatic flavor of Alphonso but with better regular bearing habits.
