Studies were conducted to rejuvenate frost affected mango orchard of three cultivars viz Mallika, Dashehari and Amarpali by applying different pruning treatments during the year 2008. Significant results in rejuvenating the mango trees pertaining to growth and fruit yield attributes were observed. Tip pruning of frost injured mango shoots in all the three cultivars of mango gave significantly higher growth and fruit yield in comparison to unpruned plants (control).
