Abstract
The investigation was carried out at HRC, Patharchatta, G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar (Uttaranchal) during 2004-2005.
The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design having 27 treatment combinations with three replications and one tree per replication per treatment was under taken study in 26 year old orchard of mango cv. Dashehari. The treatment consisted of Zn @ 200 & 250 gm/tree, Cu @ 100 & 150 gm/tree and B @ 200 & 250 g/tree alone and in combinations through basal application in the month of December, 2004.
The data on assessment of effect of these micronutrients on yield and quality parameters such as date of flowering, flowering percentage, yield and chemical quality characters were recorded.
Application of Zn, B and Cu @ 200, 250 and 100 gm per tree were found to increase the fruit set and thereby yield and same combination was found to increase total soluble solids and other quality characters.
The result show that application of Zn, B and Cu @ 200, 250 and 100 gm per tree were found most effective to increase fruit yield and quality significant.
