Abstract : An investigation was carried out with application of N, P and K at 0, 500, 750, 1000 and/or 1500 g/plant with (12?400 g) or without lime to 15 year old mango cv. Latsundari at Bhubaneswar, Orissa, India. Higher levels of nutrients increased yield, yield attributing characters and fruit quality. These characters were increased/improved with addition of lime. But maximum benefit was obtained at N at 1000 g/plant, P at 500 g/plant, K at 1000 g/plant along with lime which was better than higher dose of nutrients with lime for negative intersection of lime with that level of nutrients.
