Affecting useful soil microbes and remains of chemical residue become toxic to plants and adversely affecting health of the mango plant. Role and deficiency symptoms of Nitrogen in Mango End Previous Next Introduction Improved yield in mango require balance application of nutrients in proper form. But continuous and imbalanced use of inorganic fertilizers affect the soil health as well yield by:

Therefore, it is important to use chemical fertilizers judiciously to get higher yield without affecting soil health. Integrated nutrient management is a good agricultural practices which improves yield in mango without affecting soil health. Role and deficiency symptoms of Nitrogen in Mango End Previous Next

Before adapting integrated nutrient management practice in mango, it is utmost important to have an idea about the role and deficiency symptoms of different elements on mango. Therefore in this RLO you will learn the role and deficiency symptoms of nitrogen on mango. Role and deficiency symptoms of Nitrogen in Mango End Previous Next

After completing this lesson, you will be able to answer: 1. Learn the role of nitrogen in mango 2. Explain deficiency symptoms of nitrogen in mango 3. Describe symptoms of excess nitrogen in mango Role and deficiency symptoms of Nitrogen in Mango End Previous Next

Role Role Nitrogen is one of the most important nutrients for the growth of mango. It has a relevant role in the production and quality of the fruits. Nitrogen effects are seen principally in the vegetative phase of growth Role and deficiency symptoms of Nitrogen in Mango End Previous Next

Role Mango leaves with more than 1.2% N were associated with fruits that had greenish spots on reddish skin. Nitrogen application induced flowering in the following years. Role and deficiency symptoms of Nitrogen in Mango End Previous Next

Role Role Induced early flush and encouraged flowering. N application increases yield and quality of fruits in mango. Adequately nourished mango with N regularly develop shoots, and have viable panicles able to bear fruit. Role and deficiency symptoms of Nitrogen in Mango End Previous Next

Deficiency symptoms Deficiency symptoms Nitrogen deficiency may adversely affect yield. Lack of nitrogen causes retarded development, less vegetative growth and reduced production of fruits. Due to nitrogen deficiency relatively small fruit set associated with leaves that matured without attaining normal size. Role and deficiency symptoms of Nitrogen in Mango End Previous Next

Deficiency symptoms Deficiency symptoms The deficiency symptoms first appeared near the base of current years growth, and progressed towards the tip, new leaves fails to attain normal size. Leaf stalks tended to form narrow angles with the stem. Role and deficiency symptoms of Nitrogen in Mango End Previous Next

Deficiency symptoms Deficiency symptoms Fruit ripens prematurely and drop prematurely. Nitrogen deficiency caused reduced leaf area and general yellowing Excess of nitrogen causes excessive vegetative growth, difficulty at floral differentiation, loss of yield and fruit quality, and an increased susceptibility to disease.
