Abstract : Dormex (hydrogen cyanamide) was sprayed on mango trees at flower bud differentiation (October) in a field study at New Delhi in 1994/95. Buds treated with Dormex showed higher contents of ABA, GA3, calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron, sodium and C/N ratio and lower contents of IAA, nitrogen, phosphorus, copper, manganese, zinc, total protein and total organic carbon compared with untreated control buds.
