“…In earlier study Saha et al, (2017) reported the highest percent (74.01) of flowering shoot was observed with K 2 HPO 4 1.5 % and KNO 3 1%. These findings are in conformity with Garcia et al, (2008), Sudha et al, (2012), Sarker and Rahim (2013), Afiqah et al, (2014), Maloba et al, (2017) and several others in mango fruit.…”

Satna (M.P.) India, during 2016-17 and 2017-18 to study the response of different mango cultivars viz. Bombay Green, Dashehari and Langra to various chemicals namely potassium nitrate, potassium di-hydrogen orthophosphate, di-potassium hydrogen orthophosphate. The results of the experiment revealed that the per cent of bud swelling, panicle emergence and flowering shoot and length of panicle were higher with application of KH 2 PO 4 -1%+KNO 3 -1%. In case of cultivars, mango cv. Langra produced lengthier panicle than Bombay Green and Dashehari in both treated and untreated trees. Significantly narrowest sex ratio and higher number of hermaphrodite flowers, fruit set, fruit retention per panicle and number of fruits per tree were recorded with application of KH 2 PO 4 -1%+KNO 3 -1% treatment. In case of mango cultivars the narrowest sex ratio and higher number of hermaphrodite flowers, fruit set per panicle and number of fruit per tree were observed with Langra.

“…It has been reported that the flowering of mango is mediated by high levels of ethylene [64]. Lauchli et al [65] and Afiqah et al [66] explained that KNO 3 could transform the shoots from their vegetative phase (dormant terminal bud) to their reproductive phase, from which they then grow in panicles and finally bear flowers. Generally, all treatments with KNO 3 and putrescine improved fruit set, fruit retention, and number of fruits per tree.…”

The current investigation represents of the synergistic effects of application of potassium nitrate (KNO3) in combination with putrescine (Put) on flowering, productivity, and fruit quality on Ewais mango (Mangifera indica L.) trees during the seasons 2021/2022 and 2022/2023. The selected trees were sprayed at three different stages, including flower bud differentiation, full bloom, and beginning of the fruit set, with one of the following treatments: control, 2% KNO3, 4% KNO3, 50 ppm Put, 75 ppm Put, 2% KNO3 + 50 ppm Put, 2% KNO3 + 75 ppm Put, 4% KNO3 + 50 ppm Put, 4% KNO3 + 75 ppm Put. Results showed that all treatments were successful in improving the productivity of mango trees by increasing flowering terminal shoots, fruit set, fruit retention, number of fruits/tree, yield, and fruit yield increment while reducing the percentage of fruit drop, as well as improving the quality of mango fruits cv. Ewais by increasing fruit length, fruit diameter, TSS, total sugars, V.C, and total phenol and carotenoid content, but at the same time, diminishing the total acidity, as compared with control. Based on this research, the application of 4% KNO3 in conjunction with 75 ppm Putrescine has shown the most prominent advances in enhancing Ewais tree productivity and fruit quality. The investigation successfully highlighted the synergistic effect of using KNO3 and putrescine to improve mango fruit yield and quality.

“…Amrapali (Sarker and Rahim, 2013). Moreover, foliar application of potassium nitrate stimulates flowering in sufficiently mature stems (Afiqah et al, 2014). A more recent research work found that PN at 4 % significantly shortened flowering time by 39 and 36 days on cv.…”

The flowering induction in mango (Mangifera indica L.) orchards is an agricultural practice carried out on tropical regions to obtain fruits out-of-season looking to reach better sale prices. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of potassium (PN), ammonium nitrate (AN) and paclobutrazol (PBZ) on flowering induction and fruit production in mango cv. Tommy Atkins. The experiment included fourteen treatments with 2, 4, and 6 % PN, and 2, 3 and 4 % AN applied in combination with PBZ (1 g of a.i. m-1 of canopy diameter), paclobutrazol alone (1 g of a.i. m-1 of canopy diameter), and a control (water), which were arranged in a completely randomized design with three replicates. Results show that floral induction and fruit production were improved: PBZ followed by foliar application PN 2 %, 4 % or 6 % induced flowering 16 days after treatments. Likewise, the major number of emerged panicles were obtained with PBZ + PN 6 %. An increase on fruit weight and size reduction was observed at harvest. PBZ followed by foliar application of nitrates induced flowering and enhanced the number developed panicles in mango cv. Tommy Atkins.RESUMENLa inducción floral en mango (Mangifera indica L.) es una práctica agrícola común en regiones tropicales, tendiente a obtener frutos fuera de temporada para lograr mejores precios de la cosecha. Este trabajo tuvo como objetivo evaluar el efecto de tratamientos de nitrato de potasio (PN), nitrato de amonio (AN) y paclobutrazol (PBZ) sobre la inducción floral y producción de fruto en mango cv. Tommy Atkins. Los tratamientos con PN al 2, 4, y 6 % y AN al 2, 3 y 4 % fueron aplicados solos o combinados con PBZ (1 g de i.a. m-1 de diámetro de copa), PBZ solo y un testigo (agua) bajo un diseño completamente al azar, con tres repeticiones. Se midieron variables de inducción floral y producción de fruto. Los resultados muestran que aplicación foliar de PBZ seguida de PN (2 %), (4 %) o (6 %) indujeron floración 16 días después del tratamiento. El mayor número de panículas emergidas se obtuvieron con PBZ + PN 6 %. Se observó una reducción de peso y tamaño de fruto a la cosecha. El PBZ seguido de aplicaciones foliares con NP y AN induce floración y aumenta el número de panículas desarrolladas en mango cv. Tommy Atkins.
