Abstract : The present investigation was carried out during two consecutive years (2011 and 2012) to find out the effect of foliar application of nutrients on yield and quality attributes of Alphonso mango. Fruit yield was highest in terms of number (184.17) was noticed in treatment T7 (Urea 2% at pea stage, MPP 0.5% each at marble and egg stages. The treatment T7 (KNO3 1%) each at pea, marble and egg stages) recorded the highest TSS (20.97°B), total sugars (15.71%), than control. However, the control recorded the highest titratable acidity (0.46%).
