- Intervention effect WRARRF compensated for nutrient reduction by increasing soil N, P and K availability.
- Intervention effect WRARR increased mango leaf N by 11% in year one compared with CRF.
- Intervention effect WRARR increased mango leaf P by 4% in year one compared with CRF.
- Intervention effect WRARR increased mango leaf K by 7% in year one compared with CRF.
- Intervention effect WRARR increased mango leaf N by 11% in year two compared with CRF.
- Intervention effect WRARR increased mango leaf P by 6% in year two compared with CRF.
- Intervention effect WRARR increased mango leaf K by 7% in year two compared with CRF.
- Intervention effect WRARR increased partial fertilizer productivity by 36% in year one.
- Intervention effect WRARR increased partial fertilizer productivity by 41% in year two.
- Intervention effect WRARRF gave the highest mango output and increased yield by 11.9% in year one relative to RRF.
- Intervention effect WRARRF increased mango yield by 16.5% in year two relative to RRF.
- Intervention effect Fruit quality ranked WRARRF above RRF above CRF.
- Intervention effect WRARRF produced maximum economic benefit of USD 7372 per hectare compared with CRF and RRF.
- Mechanism The authors attribute improved mango yield and profit to nutrient-release regulation by the water-retaining agent.
- Recommendation Water-retaining agents are recommended to overcome excessive fertilization and inefficient fertilizer use in mango orchards.
