A field experiment was carried out to identify the best chemical to regulate flowering and increase fruit production in mango cv. Baneshan at JVR HRS, Malyal for continuous period of five years from 2010-11 to 2014-15. The experiment was conducted with seven treatments using K2HPO4 1%, KH2PO4 1% alone and in combination with 1% of KNO3 and thiourea, the untreated trees were regarded as control. The results revealed during the five years (2010-15) that, the highest per cent of flowering (79.36 %) was recorded in T4 – KH2PO4 1% + KNO3 1% and fruit set per panicles (6.15%) in T1- K2HPO4 1% and lowest in control (49.00% & 5.41%). The highest yield per tree (114.67 kg) was noticed in T4 (KH2PO4 1% + KNO3 1% ) and lowest (75.13 kg) in control which was on par with T1- K2HPO4 1% (73.98 kg).
