“…Intensive fertilization is required to minimize nutrient deficiencies that might induce alternate bearing or stoichiometric stress, which restrict mango productivity. N is an essential nutrient that may affect many parameters of mango tree productivity, such as: vegetative growth (Raj and Rao, 2006; Stassen and van Vuuren, 1997), alternate bearing (El-Motaium et al, 2019), photosynthesis (Urban et al, 2008), quality of shoot bearing and panicles (Singh et al, 1991), embryo abortion (Singh, 2005), fruit color (Bally, 2007; McKenzie, 1994; Nguyen et al, 2004), and anthracnose disease (Nguyen et al, 2004). Deficient N conditions may depress the vegetative and reproductive development of mango trees, whereas excess N may be harmful because excess vegetative growth impairs floral differentiation (Davenport, 2003, 2009; Pinto et al, 2007; Ramírez and Davenport, 2010).…”
