Abstract

The investigation was carried out at the Horticultural Research Centre, Patharchatta of the G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar (U.S. Nagar), Uttarakhand to study the effect of pre-harvest foliar spray of micronutrients on growth and fruit characteristics of mango (Mangifera indica L.) cv. Langra. It is found that, combined spray of boron, zinc, iron and copper improved the tree girth, tree spread, number of fruits per tree. However, zinc + iron foliar spray increased the tree volume. Maximum yield in kg/tree was found with zinc and boron individually and in combination with copper.
