Abstract
A field experiment was conducted at NARP, Ganeshkhind, during 1992 to 2013 to study high density planting of mango variety Kesar. Accordingly plant density studies in mango was laid out in the year 1992 with spacing of 5 X 5 m, 5 X 10 m and 10 X 10 m, in randomized block design at Ganeshkhind, Pune. The growth, yield and quality parameters were recorded for three years and pooled data (2010–2012) was analyzed statistically. The results were significant and the yield and monetary returns were 125 per cent more over conventional spacing. The recommendation of planting of mango cv Kesar at spacing of 5 X 5 m with light pruning (15–20 cm terminal shoot) after harvest of fruits every year is recommended for higher fruit yield and monetary returns in mango growing area of Maharashtra.
