Abstract : In studies on the nutrient requirements of mango trees, the nutrient removal by inflorescences and fruits was determined in cultivars Langra, Fazli, Bombai and Himsagar. N, P, K, Ca and Mg contents were determined in samples taken at 7 stages from pre-bloom to harvesting. Differences were noted between the various stages but there were no appreciable differences between cultivars.
