Abstract: An investigation was carried out in mango cv. Alphonso grown under UHDP system to study the effect of root pruning on shoot growth and the flowering. Two different group of trees were root pruned viz., one during June and another during October at three different intensities viz., 30 cm, 45 cm, and 60 cm from the trunk in circular fashion to a depth of 60 cm. The results revealed that the number of shoots emerged from the tress did not vary significantly among the treatments and the shoot length was reduced in T2 (root pruning at 30 cm done during June) as compared to other treatments after three months of root pruning. Irrespective of the intensity of root pruning levels, panicle emergence was advanced by ten days as compared to control tress. Root pruned treed attained 50 per cent flowering much earlier than the unpruned trees.
