Abstract: The present investigation entitled “Effect of chemicals on fruit retention and quality of mango (Mangifera indica L.) Cv. Kesar” was conducted at Fruit Research Station, Himayatbagh, Aurangabad during the year 2016-17. The objective of this experiment was to improve the quality of mango Cv. Kesar by using NAA, KNO3, Urea and Triacontanol. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replication and 13 treatments. Comprising spraying of NAA (@ each 20, 40, 60 ppm), KNO3 (@ each 2, 4, 6%), Urea (@ each 1, 1.5, 2%), Triacontanol (@ each 100, 300, 500 ppm) and control. The observations on different characters of fruit Viz, per cent of total soluble solids (TSS), per cent of Acidity, per cent of reducing sugar, per cent of non-reducing sugar, per cent of total sugar. Were recorded.
The total soluble solid (TSS) was maximum in treatment T3 NAA @ 40 ppm. The minimum acidity was recorded under treatment T4 NAA @ 60 ppm The maximum reducing sugar was recorded under treatment T5 KNO3 @ 2 per cent. The maximum non-reducing sugar was recorded under treatment T6 KNO3 @ 4 per cent. The maximum total sugar was recorded under treatment T5 KNO3 @ 2 per cent.
