Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during 2017-18 to study the effect of drip fertigation on vegetative growth, yield and quality of mango cv. Pant Sinduri at Horticulture Research Centre, Patharchatta, G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, Uttarakhand. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with four replications. The investigation comprised of six treatments involving drip fertigation at 100, 80, 60, 40 and 20% recommended fertilizer dose with one control (in which no fertilizer was applied). The result of experimentation revealed that drip fertigation produced no significant effect on vegetative parameters like tree height, stem circumference, trunk cross sectional area, canopy spread and volume. However, leaf NPK content varied significantly with different drip fertigation levels. Maximum leaf N (1.65%), P (0.87%) and K (0.7%) were recorded in treatment T1 i.e. fertigation 100 % recommended dose. However, the leaf N (1.64%) P (0.84%) and K (0.65%) content were found statistically at par with treatment T2 i.e. fertigation with 80% recommended dose. On the other hand, the minimum leaf N (1.22%), P (0.17%) and K (0.44%) were obtained in control. Therefore, it was concluded that fertigation at 80% recommended dose is economically ideal for mango cv. Pant Sinduri.
