Abstract : Trees in 4 mango orchards (15-year-old cv. Kent trees in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, Mexico, and 4-year-old cv. Kent trees, 5-year-old cv. Manila trees and 6-year-old cv. Keitt trees in Escuinapa, Sinaloa, Mexico) were supplied with N fertilizer (1-7 monthly soil applications of 200 g/tree) and sprayed with gibberellic acid at 60 ppm (1-7 applications). All treatments significantly delayed and inhibited flowering.
