Abstract : In trials with 13-year-old mango trees, January treatments with Zn or CCC [chlormequat] had no appreciable effect on flower type (staminate, pistillate or hermaphrodite) but fruit set was greatly increased by 1% Zn or 500 or 1000 p.p.m. CCC. Fruit retention was highest (36.4%) and quality best in trees treated with 0.8% Zn.
