Improving the yield of ‘Chok Anan’(MA 224) mango with Potassium Nitrate Foliar sprays. International Journal of Fruit Science, 14 (4). pp. 416-423. ISSN 1553-8621 (2014)



Abstract

Unsynchronized flowering behavior and low fruit set are phenomenon that resulted in low production of mango fruit. The effects of a chemical inducing substance, potassium nitrate (KNO3), on enhancement of flowering on the mango clone ‘Chok Anan’ (MA224) and, ultimately, the fruit production were studied. Initially,12-month-old and 5-year-old mango trees were sprayed with 1%,2%, and 5% KNO3. The 5-year-old mango trees showed earlier flowering and higher fruit set with 2% KNO3 followed by 5% and 1% KNO3. However, only 1% KNO3 initiated flowering on young mango trees. In conclusion, the flowering response to KNO3 depends on the age of tree.
