An investigation was carried out to study the effect of foliar spray of micronutrients, viz,
calcium and boron and sorbitol on fruit-set, yield and fruit quality in mango (Mangifera indica
L). cv. Himsagar, at Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Regional Research Station,
Gayeshpur. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD), with three
replications. Results revealed that boric acid (0.02%)+ sorbitol (2.0%) were the most
effective for enhancing fruit-set (1.58%), yield (48.51 kg tree-1), fruit weight (165.6 g), TSS …

Low fruit setting and heavy fruit drop in cv. Langra is a serious problem for mango growers
despite the profuse flowering, good fruit setting. Some chemicals like Calcium nitrate, Boric
and Sorbitol are able to minimize the loss. The experiment was conducted during the two
successive seasons in the years 2012 & 2013 on mango (Mangifera indica L.) cv. Langra
with treatments T1-(Calcium nitrate@ 0.06%), T2-(Boric acid@ 0.02%), T3-(Sorbitol@ 2.0%)
T4-(Calcium nitrate@ 0.06%+ Boric acid@ 0.02%), T5-(Calcium nitrate@ 0.06%+ Sorbitol …
