Effect of foliar spray of micronutrients on Alphonso mango

Alphonso mango (Mangifera indica L.) has most of the quality merits but it has some serious inherited physiological disorders such as, alternate bearing habit and excessive/heavy fruit drop that occurs at different stages of fruit growth till harvest is considered as one of the long standing unresolved problems, directly and substantially contributing to its poor yield along with other problems. To overcome these problems the experiment was planned, as micronutrients helps in the uptake of major nutrients and play an active role in the plant metabolism process starting from cell wall development to respiration, photosynthesis, chlorophyll formation, enzymatic activity, hormone synthesis, nitrogen fixation and reduction etc.
