Impact of varied pruning schedules on quality attributes of mango cultivars under high-density planting

The present study entitled “Impact of Varied Pruning Schedules on Quality Attributes of Mango Cultivars under High-Density Planting” was carried at Department of Fruit Science, PDKV, Akola, Maharashtra during the year 2024-2025. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block design with twelve treatment combination and three replications. Among the varieties, Maximum Total soluble solids (TSS), TSS: Acid ratio, Ascorbic acid content, minimum Titratable acidity, were recorded in Kesar (V1). Whereas maximum Non- Reducing sugars was recorded in Ratna (V2) and minimum reducing sugars was recorded in Pairi (V3). In respect to pruning times, Second Fortnight of July (P4) was recorded maximum Total soluble solids (TSS), TSS: Acid ratio, Non-reducing sugars, Ascorbic acid content, minimum Titratable acidity, Reducing sugars which was followed by P3, P2 and P1. Additionally, the treatment combination Kesar pruned in the Second Fortnight of July (V1P4) recorded significantly the Maximum Total soluble solids (TSS), TSS: Acid ratio, Ascorbic acid content, minimum Titratable acidity, Reducing sugars. Whereas maximum Non- reducing sugars was recorded in V2P4.
