Abstract : Mango (Mangifera indica L.), king of fruits, is one of the world most delicious fruits and occupies a place of pride in this country. The results showed that the plant height was significantly correlated with plant spread (E-W), canopy height was correlated with circumference of root stock, scion also with plant spread (E-W), fruit yield and fruit weight. Circumference of root stock was positively correlated with circumference of scion. Circumference of scion was also significantly correlated with (E-W) and (N-S) plant spread. The plant spread (E-W) was significantly correlated with plant spread (N-S), tree volume, fruits/tree and fruit yield. The plant spread (N-S) was significantly correlated with tree volume and fruits/tree. Tree volume was significantly correlated with fruits/tree, fruit yield and fruit weight. The number of fruits/tree was significantly correlated with fruit yield and fruit weight. The fruit yield/tree was significantly correlated with fruit weight. The T.S.S. was negatively correlated with acidity, pulp:stone and pulp:peel. The acidity was slightly negatively correlated with pulp:peel. The pulp:peel was negatively correlated with shelf life of fruits. The total N was negatively correlated with total P and total K. The total P was significant and positively correlated with total K. The total number of fruits/tree was significant and positively correlated with fruits yield/tree under integrated plant nutrient management.
