Abstract : An experiment was conducted to study the relationship between Ca and K, N, P and Mg, and their effect on the formation of spongy tissue in mango cv. Zihua. The disease was more severe when fruit weight was heavier. Disease occurrence was highest when the fruit neared maturity. The recommended contents of Ca, K and N to avoid the occurrence of the disease were 0.023, 1.234-1.452 and 0.41-0.58%, respectively.
