Abstract : Soils of the mango orchards were clayey and sandy clay loam in texture having fairly good physical and chemical properties suitable for mango orchards. Soil nutrient status indicated that available N, P, S, Zn and Fe were low to deficient while other nutrients were medium to high and sufficient. Leaf nutritional status showed that N, Zn and Fe were below the critical limit whereas P, K, Ca, and Mg were above the critical limit. Poor supply of N, P, Fe and Zn from soil as indicated by their content below the critical limit in leaf may be the reason for low fruit yield of mango.
