Applying Paclobutrazol and Flower Bud Pruning Modify the Fruiting Time and Fruit Quality of ‘Amrapali’ Mango (<i>Mangifera indica</i> L.)

Postharvest loss of mango often occurs due to the short harvesting period. An experiment was conducted determine impact paclobutrazol (PBZ) and flower bud pruning (FBP) on regulating flowering, fruiting time fruit quality ‘Amrapali’ mango. Different doses PBZ at 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 g per meter canopy diameter water application along with FBP or without were used, as well (control). The caused earlier flowering by 22 days also done 18 compared control. Plants subjected reflowered 36 later delayed 16 Moreover, combination 1.5 showed significantly higher percentages, number panicles, total flowers, fruits weight In addition, increased soluble solids, reducing sugar, non-reducing sugar β-carotene, while it decreased vitamin C content. present findings imply that applying can extend time, influenced positively.
