Author(s): VS Mandlik, SS Kulkarni and SP Pawaskar
Abstract: The trees were sprayed with three growth retardants with three concentrations (G1, paclobutrazol @ C1: 1000, C2: 2000 and C3: 3000 ppm, G2, cycocel @ C1: 2000, C2: 3000 and C3: 4000 ppm and G3, ethrel @ C1: 100, C2: 200 and C3: 300 ppm) and were applied three times (D1: Last week of September, D2: Second week of October and D3: Last week of October). The observations for total number of days required for fruit maturity and yield and yield contributing parameters were recorded. The maximum yield per hector (12.9 t.) was recorded in treatment G2C2 (cycocel @ 3000 ppm). The mean days required for maturity were less in treated trees (107.44) than control (123.50). Overall results indicated that foliar application of cycocel @ 3000 ppm during last week of September was more effective in improving fruiting and yield of mango cv. Keshar under western Maharashtra conditions.
