Abstract: Alternate bearing is one of the important challenges of the mango industry, there are several practices to overcome alternate bearing and among them pruning and use of growth retardants like paclobutrazol have become most effective. Hence an experiment was conducted to study the effect of pruning and paclobutrazol on fruit parameters of mango cv. Alphonso. The treatment T1P1 (pruning soon after harvest with no paclobutrazol application) showed highest fruit volume (195.5 cc), fresh fruit weight (276.59 g), ripe fruit weight (257.50 g), pulp weight (204.00 g) and lowest physiological loss in weight (6.90 %). The treatment T1P3 (pruning soon after harvest with 3 ml paclobutrazol application) showed highest fruit length. The highest TSS (19.85 °B), ascorbic acid content (39.77 mg/100g) and non-reducing sugar (9.95 %) was observed in the treatment T1P3 (pruning soon after harvesting with application of paclobutrazol 3ml/lit/meter) and the treatment T1P2 (pruning soon after harvesting with application of paclobutrazol 2ml/lit/meter) showed highest titretable acidity (0.57 %) and total sugar (14.88 %).
