This investigation was conducted during two successive seasons 2016 and 2017 on ten years old mango (Mangifera indica L.), cv. Ewaise cultivar trees grown in Idku Center (Sand Basin No. 1) El-Behaira Governorate, Egypt. Ewaise mango trees grafted on Zebda seedlings grown at a distance of 6 x 4 m to study the effect of organic and mineral fertilization on yield and fruit quality of Ewaise mango cultivar. The experiment consisted of 8 treatments arranged in a randomized complete block design with 5 replicates for each treatments and one tree for each replicate. 1-Control 100% NPK, 2-50% NPK+ 100% plant compost (P.C), 3-50% NPK+ 100% animal compost (A.C.), 4-100% (P.C.), 5-100% (A.C), 6-50% P.C. + 50 % A.C., 7-50% (NPK+ P.C. + A.C.) 8-100% (NPK+ P.C. + A.C.). Results revealed that, 100% of (NPK+ P.C. + A.C.) followed by 50% (NPK+ P.C. + A.C.) gave the highest mean values of number of fruit/tree and yield/tree as compared to other treatments and control, also, gave the maximum values of fruit physical characteristics: fruit weight (g/ fruit), fruit length (cm), fruit diameter (cm), fruit volume (cm 3 ) and pulp%. On the other hand, 100% of (NPK+ P.C. + A.C.) followed by 50% (NPK+ P.C. + A.C.) gave the higher fruit chemical characteristics total sugar %, reducing sugar %, non-reducing sugar %, vitamin C (m g/ 100 ml juice), total acidity (%), TSS (%) and nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium % in leaves and fruits as compared with the control and other treatments, during both seasons, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
