Abstract : Newly set mango fruits were sprayed with NAA methyl ester at 25, 50, 75 or 100 p.p.m. All treatments increased fruit retention, size and weight, induced early maturity and improved fruit quality by increasing the TSS and reducing the acidity. The lowest concentration was the most effective.
