Abstract : A field trail on Integrated nutrient management in Mango was conducted at Fruit research station, Sangareddy Medak district, A. P. for two years during 2002-03 and 2003-04 on 3 years old mango trees CV. Banganapalli. At the end of 5th year the maximum plant growth, number of fruits/tree (62) and Yield (20.21 kg/tree) were recorded with application of 1000 g each of NPK/tree/year age. The fruit quality in terms of more TSS (23P B) and acidity (0.32%) were recorded with application of 1/2 RDF+30 kg FYM+250 g Azospirillum/tree and 100 g each of NPK/tree/year age+Zn (0.5%) and Mn (1%) foliar spray respectively. Soil N, P and K% correlated significantly with yield of mango, where as leaf N, P and K% correlated non significantly with quality parameters of mango.
