An experiment on “Effect of foliar application of micronutrients on yield and Chemical characters of Mango (Mangifera indica L.) cv. Amrapali '' was conducted at Main Experiment Station, Department of Horticulture, Post Graduate College Ghazipur (U.P.) during the year 2020-2024. in Randomized Block Design with eight treatments i.e. Control (water spray), ZnSO₄ 1%, FeSO₄ 1%, Borax 0.5%, ZnSO₄ 1% + FeSO₄ 1%, ZnSO₄ 1% +Borax 0.5%, FeSO₄ 1% + Borax 0.5% and FeSO₄ 1% +ZnSO₄ 1% + Borax 0.5% in three replications and considering one plants as a unit. The observations were recorded for yield, Physical and chemical attributes of mango fruit. Maximum fruit retention per cent, fruit yield (kg/tree), and minimum fruit drop were recorded with the application of FeSO₄ 1% +ZnSO₄ 1% + Borax 0.5% followed by ZnSO₄ 1% +Borax 0.5%. All the physico-chemical characters were influenced by foliar spray of ZnSO₄ 1%, FeSO₄ 1%, Borax 0.5%, ZnSO₄ 1% + FeSO₄ 1%, ZnSO₄ 1% +Borax 0.5%, FeSO₄ 1% + Borax 0.5%, FeSO₄ 1% +ZnSO₄ 1% + Borax 0.5% in alone. The fruit length, width, and fruit weight were recorded maximum with the foliar application of FeSO₄ 1% +ZnSO₄ 1% + Borax 0.5% followed by ZnSO₄ 1% + Borax 0.5%.
