Fruit Yield, Plant Growth and Nutrient Status in Mango

Abstract

Fruit yield and nutrient concentration of mango (Mangifera indica L.) cultivar 'Osteen' were studied in relation to rootstocks Gomera-1 and Gomera-3 for three years. The results indicated that the Gomera-3 root system had higher nutrient uptake and transport towards the scion. Data from grafted and ungrafted Gomera-1 and Gomera-3 trees proved similar with respect to N, P, and K utilization profile, with post-harvest accumulation and a decline during flowering, P and K concentrations significantly decreasing during fruit growth. These trends were largely the opposite for Ca and Mg. The Fe, Zn, Mn, and Cu concentrations rose during dormancy and fell at flowering. Fruit yield was higher with Gomera-1, while Gomera-3 gave fruit with greater weight and width. Tree height, trunk cross-sectional area, canopy diameter and

Effect of Some Mango Rootstocks on the Performance of Keitt,naomi and Haydi Mango Varieties

“…The leaf area showed the significant of differences during the two seasons of study, which the leaf area of keitt and Naomi cultivars gave a high measurable than Haydi leaf area in both seasons of study. These results are agreement with Duran-zuazu (2006) which mentioned that rootstocks have a great significant effects on scion growth and gave the greatest number of the shoots and leaves with mango trees .Also Mng'omba, et al (2010), Bhuiyan, et al (2010) and Zayan, et al (2011) added that the grafted mango varieties gave high girth (diameter) and the greatest number of leaves.…”

“…There are some relationships between scions and rootstocks in the grafting of fruit trees in features of vegetative, flowering and yield. The vegetative status in this concern as clearly leaf area, new branches or sprout has been the numbers, lengths and canopy definitely differed from trees especially in mango trees according to (Amin 1978;Reddy et al, 2003 andDuran Zuazu ,2006).…”

Evaluation study for the effect of four mango rootstocks on behaviour of Keit mango variety

“…Olour as vigorous mango rootstock had the higest leaf nutrient content., Also, the leaf nutrient status of Alphnso on vigorous rootstock were highly significantly for N, K, Fe, Ca, Mn and Cu while levels of P were not significant affected (Kurian et al, 1996). the vigorious mango rootstocks had highly significant levels for N, k, Ca and mg (Reddy et al, 2002 andDuran-Zuazu, 2006).…”

Influence of Rootstocks on Leaf Mineral Content in the Subtropical Peach cv. UFSun

“…Also, higher K concentrations were reported in leaves of 'Golden Delicious' apple on M.7 EMLA rootstock than when propagated on other stocks (Fallahi et al, 2002). Numerous studies have demonstrated that rootstocks can affect fruit quality and scion leaf mineral concentration (Boyhan et al, 1995;Dur an-Zuazo et al, 2005;Facteau et al, 1996;Knowles et al, 1984;Kviklys et al, 2012;North and Cook, 2006;Rosati et al, 1996;Tomala et al, 2008;Tsipouridis and Thomidis, 2005;W€ unsche et al, 2005).…”
