Abstract: A field experiment was conducted to find out most appropriate combination of bio-fertilizers and chemical fertilizers for mango production during 2011 - 13 at the Horticultural Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand. The trial was laid out in randomized block design, replicated thrice, with thirteen treatments including control. Maximum number of panicles per branch (9.38), minimum days taken to 50% flowering (21.38), panicle length (43.38 cm), number of flowers per panicle (1779.38) and minimum sex ratio of flowers (0.73), highest fruit set per panicle (201.33), fruit retention per panicle (4.70), fruit length (11.84 cm), fruit diameter (6.49 cm), fruit weight (179.21 g), number of fruits per tree (556.00), fruit yield per tree (54.00 kg) and per hectare (84.24 q) and pulp weight (114.75 g) were found significant under T10 i.e. 85% N + 85% P2O5 + Azotobacter + PSB. Stone weight (28.41 g) was found minimum under the treatment T6 (100% N + 85% P2O5 + Azotobacter + PSB). Peel weight (28.00 g) was recorded significantly minimum in treatment T13 i.e. 70% N + 85% P2O5 + Azotobacter + PSB, while early emergence of flowering i.e. 181.13 days taken during on pooled basis was observed non significant.
