Fertilization strategies to reduce the formation of stenospermocarpic mango fruits in the semiarid region

Abstract The mango cultivation has shown considerable losses, due to the intense occurrence of physiological disorders in its fruits, and stenospermocarpy is main disorder under tropical semiarid conditions. So, experiment was carried out evaluate potential loss yield cv. Palmer by stenospermocarpy, relation with nutritional state plant as a function fertilization strategies. study conducted two experimental areas Brazilian semiarid. There evidence that leaf contents phosphorus (P), iron (Fe) zinc (Zn) influenced development associated high temperature low relative humidity flowering period crop. incidence fruits affected reaches 90%, an estimated 28.81 Mg ha-1 for Palmer.
