Abstract:
Konkan region of Maharashtra is known for best quality mango of cv. Alphonso which is having great demand in domestic as well as international markets. The late harvest of fruits fetches low market price causing huge economic loss to mango growers. Hence an attempt was made to find out association of various non-chemical and chemical approaches in internal content of non-structural carbohydrates and C:N ratio. The experiment was laid out in RBD with three replication and seven treatments viz., T₁- removal of new shoots, T₂- removal of old shoots below new, T₃- foliar spray of paclobutrazol @ 500 ppm, T₄- foliar spray of paclobutrazol @ 1000 ppm, T₅- foliar spray of ortho-phosphoric acid @ 0.5%, T₆- foliar spray of ortho-phosphoric acid @ 1% and T₇- control. Among the various non-chemical and chemical approaches T₁ and T₂- recorded highest flowering intensity, non-structural carbohydrates, C:N ratio and maximum yield.
