Banganapalli

Banganapalle mangoes (also known as Benishan and Bernisha) is a mango variety produced in Banganapalle of Nandyal District in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. It alone occupies 70% percent of total mango cultivable area of the state and was first introduced by the farmers of Banaganapalli. It was registered as one of the geographical indication from Andhra Pradesh on 3 May 2017, under horticultural products by Geographical Indication Registry. It is also grown in the other parts of India and Pakistan. The fruit is described as obliquely oval in shape, around 20cm in length, with yellow flesh and a thin, smooth yellow skin. The flesh is of a firm, meaty texture and is sweet and lacks fibre. The cultivar is the most sought after in Andhra Pradesh. It is a very late-season variety that is good for canning.

It is also known as Banganapalli as it is cultivated plenty in and around Banaganapalle village of Andhra Pradesh. Benishan, Chappatai, Safeda (Delhi, UP and other northern states), Badam Aam (Rajasthan, MP, Malwa, Mewar and other areas of Central India) are some other names.

It is mainly cultivated in the mandals of Banaganapalle, Panyam and Nandyal of Kurnool district. Apart from these, Coastal and Rayalaseema areas cultivate it too. The state of Telangana also has its cultivation in some districts of Khammam, Mahabubnagar, Rangareddy, Medak and Adilabad districts of Telangana.

Like other south Indian mangos this variety seems to flower very easily in south Florida and seems to perform acceptably near the coast, although it is very prone to powdery mildew. The growth habit is moderately vigorous with spreading, open canopy and rather thin stems.

Banganapalli is an early season mango here ripening primrily from late May through June.
