Year: 2014
Type: article
Abstract: The experiment was carried out in the orchard situated in district Saharanpur (U.P.) during the years 2010 and 2011 with an aim to improve the yield and physical characters of mango fruit.The treatments were comprised of mulching, borax @ 0.5 and 1.0%, potassium sulphate @ 0.5 and 1.0 %, calcium chloride @ 0.5 and 1.0 %, calcium nitrate @ 0.5 and 1.0 %, GA 3 @ 25ppm and 50 ppm, NAA @ 25ppm and 50 ppm in combination with mulching and water spray without mulching as control.The spray was done three times at different stages during the year 2010 and 2011 which is given below-Ist spray on 15th January (i.e.before flower bud burst), IInd spray on 15th February (i.e. at panicle emergence) and IIIrd spray on 15th April (i.e. after fruit set).The findings of experiment were indicated that the application of borax @ 0.5 % along with mulching was most effective for increasing fruit quality.The shelf life of fruits was significantly increased by the application of growth regulators.
