Abstract : The response of mango cv. DASEHAHRI to micronutrients viz., Zn, B and Mn respect of growth and yield was observed during 2004-05 at experimental farm, Central Institute for Subtropical Horticulture, Lucknow. During the experimentation three levels of Zn (0, 200 and 400 g), Mn (0, 200 and 400 g) and B (0, 100 and 200 g) were applied as basal dressing in each tree in the form of Zn SO4, MnSO4 and Borax. The results showed that higher levels of each micronutrients effectively enhanced the growth and yield (21.2%) of mango when applied either alone or in combinations.
