Abstract : An experiment was carried out during 2002-03 at Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India to evaluate the effect of fertigation on growth, yield and quality attributes of mango cv. Amrapali. The highest number of fruits per plant and total yield per plant were recorded with the application of 75% of recommended dose through fertigation. The application of 100% of recommended dose through fertigation recorded maximum fruit weight, pulp weight, length and breadth of fruit. However, the minimum stone and peel weight were recorded under the same treatment. The highest total soluble solids and reducing sugar were recorded with 100% of recommended dose through fertigation. The maximum acidity was observed under control (surface irrigation+recommended dose) and the minimum value was recorded with 50% of the recommended dose through fertigation.
