Abstract : In an experiment at Munoz, Philippines in 1994-95, foliar fertilizers (Algafer and Maxigrow) were applied 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 times to Carabao mango trees. Fruit dry matter content decreased and days to ripening and weight loss during postharvest ripening increased as the number of foliar applications increased.
