Abstract
Trials were conducted at Central Mango Research Station, Lucknow for induction of flowering in Dashehari mango to overcome the problem of biennial bearing continuously for five years from 1974 to 1979 with different plant growth regulators and other chemicals e.g. Ethephon 400 and 200 ppm, Cycocel and Alar (500 ppm each), different nitrates like Potassium nitrate, Calcium nitrate, Magnesium nitrate, Sodium nitrate and Urea (all at 1 per cent concentration). Five sprays of Ethephon, Alar and Cycocel were given beginning from 15th September at monthly interval. However, different nitrates and urea were sprayed only once on 1st January, about one month before flowering. In another set of experiment, Ethephon alone and in combination with urea were also tried for induction of flowering in mango. Considering together five year's data in the present investigation, Ethephon was not found very effective in inducing flowering and fruiting in Dashehari mango. However, there was some marginal increase in number of panicles/tree as well as yield in terms of number of fruits/tree in Ethephon and urea treatments as compared to control trees. The effect of different nitrates and growth retardants in inducing flowering in mango was also not pronounced.
