Abstract: The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with nine treatments and three replications. T1 (Basin exposure once in Last week of September) recorded best performance minimum days required for induction of vegetative shoot (39) days, T6 (Smudging) recorded lowest percent new vegetative shoot (18.25 %) with highest length of panicle (20.43 cm), breadth of panicle (16.50 cm). The treatment T3 (Basin exposure twice in Last week of September and last week of October (T1 +T2) recorded maximum flowering intensity (70.94 %), hermaphrodite flowers (18.45 %), fruit set per panicle (13.45) which found to be significant and treatment T8 (pinching of terminal bud) showed maximum fruit retention (0.40 %). In case of yield, treatment T3 (Basin exposure twice in Last week of September and last week of October (T1 + T2) recorded higher yield (185.75 no. of fruits/tree, 48.76 kg/tree and 4.88 t/ha) and this treatment resulted in early induction of flowering panicle (69.00 days) which led to early harvest (110 days). It was concluded that treatment T3 i.e. Basin exposure twice in last week of September and last week of October (T1 +T2) helped for early flowering panicle emergence and further led to early harvest with higher yield to Alphonso mango.
