Abstract: An experiment was conducted to study the effect of foliar spray of iron and zinc fertilization on yield of mango cv. Kesar at Regional Horticultural Research Station, ASPEE College of Horticulture and Forestry, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari (Gujarat). The foliar spray of FeSO4 (0.25 and 0.50 %) and ZnSO4 (0.25 and 0.50 %) alone and in combinations were done in 20 years old mango orchard at flowering, pea and egg stage of fruit. It is revealed from the results that the foliar spray of 0.25 % FeSO4 and 0.50 % ZnSO4 in combination showed superior performance by getting higher fruit set and retention percentage; and yield attributes over other treatments under study. The highest TSS and ascorbic acid was also noted in those fruits obtained from the trees treated with 0.25 % FeSO4 and 0.50 % ZnSO4.
