Abstract: Present experiment entitled “Effect of plant growth regulators and chemicals on fruit retention, yield and quality of Mango cv. Keshar " laid out in FRBD with seven treatments of plant growth regulators and three fruit stages with three replications., carried out at Research farm of Horticulture Section, College of Agriculture, Dhule (M.S.) during 2016-17. The different chemicals and plant growth regulators were used to study their effect on fruit growth, retention, quality and yield. The highest percentage of fruit retention, highest size of fruit i.e. polar diameter and equatorial diameter, weight of the fruit, yield parameters namely number of fruit per tree and yield (kg/tree) was observed when spraying with CPPU@10ppm was done under study. The overall results indicated that foliar application of CPPU 10ppm was significantly found to be beneficial to the economically important characters viz. fruit retention, number of fruits, average fruit weight and yield^-1 plant and the cost benefit ratio was 2.99.
