Abstract: The current study was conducted through 2017 and 2018 seasons on mango trees Fagri Kelan cv.The target of this work was to evaluate the influence of microbial fertilizer, bio-stimulant, multivitamin, macro and micro elements in the form of commercial compounds as Hormufol (biostimulant, Multivitamin, macro and micro elements) and Nile fertile (microorganism and macro elements) on growth measurement, leaf mineral and pigments content, yield and fruit quality.Hormufol (H) was used as a foliar spray in spring (mid-March) whereas Nile fertile (N.F) applied as a soil drench in autumn (mid-November).Data demonstrate that the applications of different used treatments increased significantly shoot length, number of leaves/ shoots, and leaf area in the three growth cycles, leaf pigments content (Ch. 1 A & B), leaf minerals contents (Nitrogen, Phosphor, potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, iron, Zink and Manganic), yield as well as fruit chemical and physical properties.Economically, the best results fruit quality and quantity were gained when "Fagri Kelan" mango trees sprayed with Hormufol 3g/l as a foliar spray on vegetative growth plus Nile fertile at 2.0 kg/ tree as a soil drench.
