Not AvailableUnder north Indian conditions, Chausa is considered as an important commercial cultivar of mango, because it is a late maturing type. The tree of Chausa attains huge stature and becomes over crowded after about 35–40 years of growth. Trees were subjected to three pruning treatments, viz. T-l (heading back up to tertiary branches), T-2 (heading back up to secondary branches) and T-3 (centre opening). After eight years of experimentation, lowest tree height (4.60 m) was recorded in trees with T-1 treatment followed by 4.90 m in T-2 treatment. Canopy spread was found at par in all the treatments. New shoots emerged on trees in T-1 and T-2 treatments, showed fast growth and attained more length. Average flowering data of eight years showed that under all the pruning treatments, enhanced flowering (44.78 - 58.40%) was noticed as compared to control (36.14%). Cumulative yield data of eight years showed that maximum fruit yield (317.50 kg) was obtained from T-2 followed by T-3 (300.45 kg plant−1), while lowest fruit yield (235.25 kg) was recorded in un-pruned trees. Effect of pruning treatments was also visible on fruit quality parameters. The highest average fruit weight (210.15 g) was recorded in fruits obtained from T-3 while lowest fruit weight was recorded in fruits obtained from control. Values of TSS were also found on higher scale in fruits from pruning treatments. Maximum TSS (25.10°Brix) was recorded in fruits obtained from T-3 while 23.20°Brix TSS was recorded in control.Not AvailableICAR-CIS

Not AvailableForty-five-year-old, dense and declined mango orchard of cv. Dashehari was subjected to different pruning treatments in order to study their effect on growth parameters, bearing behaviour and quality of fruits. After twelve years of pruning, highest increase in tree height was recorded in first order pruned trees. Highest values of shoot length were recorded in fourth order pruned trees, while highest value of shoot girth was recorded in first order pruned trees. Canopy spread was recorded highest in control. There was loss of fruiting for initial two years in severe pruning treatments (first and second order pruned trees), while from third year onwards; there was a gradual increase in fruit yield in these treatments. In moderate and light pruning treatments (third to fifth order pruned trees), there was continuous fruiting from first year onwards with an increasing trend for initial 3–4 years, thereafter inconsistent yields were obtained.Not Availabl
