Abstract : An experiment was conducted in West Bengal, India, during 1995 and 1997 to determine the effect of organic and inorganic fertilizers on the growth, yield and physicochemical properties of mango cv. Himsagar. The treatments comprised single or combined applications of N at 200, 300 and 400 g; P at 100, 200 and 300 g; K at 100, 200 and 300 g; and 40 kg organic manure (all applied per plant per year). Data were recorded for N, P and K contents in the leaves, fruit yield per tree, fruit weight and contents of total soluble solids, total sugar and ascorbic acid. Tree height and basal girth was highest with N300, P200, K200 and organic matter.
