Fruit retention and yield of mango (Mangifera indica L) cv. Alphonso as affected by post flowering nutrient foliar sprays was carried out at Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, Dapoli (M.S.) in Randomized Block Design with three replications and fourteen treatments comprising of foliar sprays of Urea, KNO3 and MPP (Monopotassium phosphate,) Sujala, K2SO4 and NAA at various concentrations along with control (No spray). These foliar sprays were given at three different fruit growth stages (pea, marble and egg stage). The application of 2% urea at pea stage, 0.5% MPP each at marble and at egg stage significantly increased fruit retention, number of fruits and yield per plant. It was at par with the treatments KNO3 1% at pea stage, MPP 0.5% each at marble and egg stage; Urea 2% each at pea, marble and egg stage; Urea 2% at pea stage, KNO3 1% at marble stage and MPP 0.5% at egg stage and Urea 2% at pea stage, KNO3 1% each at marble and egg stage. Most of the fruit quality parameters at ripe stage were observed to be non significant among all the treatments under study.
