Abstract

To achieve high productivity in mango through judicious nutrient management, cultivar specific fertilization is necessary according to nutrient requirement, nutrient removal and accumulation in the plant tissues. Macro (N, P, K, Ca, Mg) and micro nutrients (Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu) were analyzed in fruit peel, pulp, seed coat and cotyledon in seven cultivars of mango (dashehari, langra, mahmood bahar, menka, sabri, sundar langra and zardalu) at physiological mature stage. It was observed that the nutrients were not uniformly distributed in various parts of fruit but had significant differences in nutrient removal irrespective of the cultivars. With regard to macro nutrients, the order of nutrient removal was: N > K > P > Mg > Ca whereas the micronutrient removal by all the cultivars was: Fe > Cu > Zn > Mn. Thus, based on the findings it could be suggested that fractionate assessment of elemental composition in fruit tissues could help to identify the status of nutrient deficiency, excess or imbalance existence in order to assist in sustainable yield.
