Abstract
Mango is an important tropical and subtropical
fruit crop grown in India contributing major share of country’s production.
However, systemic research on production practices like nutrient management,
water management, crop regulation etc., in mango is essential for developing
location specific recommendations that promote sustainable production. Hence, A
field experiment was executed to know the effect of fertigation schedule and
dose on growth and yield of mango at Dr YSRHU-Mango Research station, Nuzvid, Andhra
Pradesh from 2022-25. The experiment consisted of five treatments and
replicated four times in a Randomized Block Design. The results revealed that
among treatments, 100% RDF given as fertigation in 3 splits @ N (40:40:20) P
(60:40:00) and K (20:20:60) after harvesting, at fruit set and marble stage
respectively recorded highest number of fruits (152.9) while 75% RDF given as
fertigation in 3 splits @ N (40:40:20) P (60:40:00) and K (20:20:60) after
harvesting, at fruit set and marble stage respectively recorded maximum fruit
weight (309.84 g). However, highest yield per tree (37.35 kg) and per hectare
(4.27 t) were recorded by 100% RDF as soil application (T1) which
was on par with T2 - 100% RDF as fertigation (36.64 kg/tree and 4.09
t/ha) and T3 - 75% RDF as fertigation (31.14 kg/tree and 3.60 t/ha).
