Abstract: The investigation was carried out at Indo Israel Project Mango Block, College of Agriculture, Dapoli, Dist. Ratnagiri, Maharashtra during the season 2015-16 to study the effect of foliar application of various nutrients on hastening maturity of post monsoon vegetative flush in relation to induction of flowering in Alphonso mango. Foliar nutrition treatments included viz; Urea (1 and 3%), potassium nitrate (1 and 3%) and orthophosphoric acid (0.1 and 0.2%). Two sprays were taken in each treatment as 1st spray immediately after emergences of new vegetative flush and second 15 days after first spray. The early induction of flowering (67.67 days) and maximum flowering (70.3 per cent), maximum panicle length and breadth (34.01 cm and 27.94 cm, respectively) and highest hermaphrodite flowers (8.48 per cent) were observed in Potassium nitrate – 3% (T5) treatment. The maximum yield (284.67 fruits and 72.45 kg/tree) was also in Potassium nitrate – 3% treatment.
