Flowering is the most unpredictable phase in the life of a plant. It is a mechanism for genetic outcrossing of plants which provides a means of securing a greater variety of genetic recombination. The transition of a vegetative bud to a floral bud involves numerous physiological and biochemical changes within the shoot apex. Flowering leads to a succession of events like anthesis, fruit set, fruit development, maturation and ripening. The time of flowering is very important so that fruit and seed development can be attained at the time that ensures its survival in the next season Due to varietal differences and diversity in agro-climatic conditions a wide variation in flowering and fruiting habit can be observed in mango. Floral induction in mango is a continuous process lasting during the early stages of bud differentiation. Flowering in mango not only depends on climatic condition, but also on the age of shoot besides genetic characters. Extremes of temperature high or low is detrimental to mango flowering. Besides several hormones play significant roles in mango flowering. There are some correlative evidences for regulation of floral initiation in mango by plant growth regulators, GA, PBZ, Ethylene, Cytokinin, TIBA etc. Evidences also suggest that there should be sufficient bulid up of carbohydrates during the time of floral bud burst stage for floral induction in mango. This review is an attempt to elucidate the different phases of flowering in mango and various factors responsible for flower induction in mango.
