Experiment Title Effect of N, P and K fertilizer on yield and quality of mango cv. Kesar
Research Type Departmental Research
Experiment Background Mango (Mangifera indica L.) considered as “King of fruits” is an important fruit crop in tropical and sub-tropical regions of India. Among Indian states, Gujarat covers 150 thousands hector area with total 1.24 million tonnes of production and 8.10 tonnes/ha productivity (NHB, 2015). The existing N and K level is not enough to the above 20 years old tree. Farmers of South Gujarat applied more fertilizers of N and K to their old orchards to get maximum and regular yield than recommended dose. So there is need to revalidate the dose of N & K per plant. Kesar is the widely adopted commercial variety in south Gujarat ecosystem. The purpose of this study is revalidating the recommended dose of N&K and find out the optimum dose of N&K in south Gujarat mango ecosystem.
