Abstract : Paclobutrazol at 4 g per tree increased the number of fruits and yield and produced high quality ripened fruits when applied as a soil drench in the first year after treatment. However, the effects wore off by the third year, indicating that paclobutrazol needs to be applied annually to increase mango fruit yields.
