The experiment was conducted at the Horticultural Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during the spring and summer seasons of the year 2017-18 & 2018-19 to study the “Response of mango to micronutrients through soil and foliar applications on fruit quality and shelf life”. The experiment comprised of 13 treatments of different micronutrients application viz. ferrous sulphate 100 g, zinc sulphate 100 g, borax 100 g and multimicronutrients grade-V 400 g as a soil application; ferrous sulphate 0.5 %, zinc sulphate 0.5 %, borax 0.2 % and multimicronutrients grade-IV 1.0 % as a foliar application; soil application of ferrous sulphate 100 g followed by foliar application of ferrous sulphate 0.5 %, soil application of zinc sulphate 100 g followed by foliar application of zinc sulphate 0.5 %, soil application of borax 100 g followed by foliar application of borax 0.2 % and soil application of multimicronutrients grade-V 400 g followed by foliar application of multimicronutrients grade-IV 1.0 % and control (water spray). Soil application was done at second fortnight of September and foliar spray of treatments was done at flower bud initiation, full bloom stage and pea stage initiation on 18 years old mango cv. Mallika. Experiment was laid out in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three repetations. The higher total soluble solids (24.4 and 24.2 â°Brix), reducing sugar (10.6 and 10.5 %), non-reducing sugar (12.7 and 12.6 %), total sugar (23.2 and 23.0 %), ascorbic acid (28.7 and 27.4 mg/100g pulp) and lower titrable acidity per cent (0.21 and 0.20 %) as well as maximum shelf life of fruit (15.0 and 13.7 days) were recorded with treatment soil application of multimicronutrients grade-V 400 g followed by foliar application of multimicronutrients grade-IV 1.0 % during both successive years.
