Abstract : Spray applications of 1000 mg/l ethephon 5 times, at weekly intervals, during November and early December induced heavy flowering in ringed and non-ringed juvenile mango seedlings. The treated plants produced flower buds which opened by the end of December, whereas unsprayed ringed seedlings produced only a new flush of vegetative growth.
