Abstract

The present investigation was carried out at Horticulture Research Centre, Patharchatta, G. B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar during the years 2007–08 and 2008–09. The experiment was laid out with thirteen treatments and three replication in randomized block design. Maximum TSS, titrable acidity and ascorbic acid content of fruits was observed with application of 75 kg vermicompost per tree in both the years. Application of different organic manures on mango trees is useful for improving the yield characteristics and quality characteristics of fruits.
