Abstract : Mango trees, cv. Chausa, were sprayed with urea and superphosphate, each at 0, 2 or 4%, either alone or together, at 4-month intervals from December 1969 to August 1971 and the fruits were harvested in June 1970 and June 1971. Fruit size, acidity, ascorbic acid, sugar and total soluble solids content were enhanced by foliar spraying.
