The present experiment was conducted on six-years-old "Keitt" mango trees at El-Bostan region, El-Behira governorate, Egypt to study the effect of 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (4-CPA) and brassinosteriods (BR) on fruit set, yield and quality of "Keitt" mangos. The following seven treatments were used, control, brassinoloide at 1 mg/L, brassinoloide at 2 mg/L, 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid at 10 mg/L, 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid at 20 mg/L, brassinoloide at 1 mg/L + 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid at 10 mg/L and brassinoloide at 2 mg/L + 4chlorophenoxyacetic acid at 20 mg/L. The treatments were applied twice at full bloom and after fruit set with ten days. The results showed that pre-harvest application of 2 mg/L brassinoloide increased fruit set, fruit retention, yield, average fruit weight, average fruit size and ascorbic acid. Pre-harvest applications of 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid either at 10 mg/L or 20 mg/L increased fruit set, retention, yield, fruit weight, size, fruit firmness and ascorbic acid. The formulation containing 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid plus brassinoloide either at low concentration or high concentration enhanced fruit set, yield, firmness, fruit physical and chemical quality of "Keitt" mangos fruit.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
