Cultar (P333) a boon for mango production – A review

The ability to produce crops throughout the entire year is of great interest for mango production under sub-tropical and semi-arid conditions. The biennial bearing is very serious problem in north, east and central Indian commercial cultivars, while most of the south Indian varieties bear regularly. Therefore, application of cultar is most widely studied in view of its high potential for controlling plant growth and development of fruit crops in general and mango production in particular. It is applied either in the soil or as foliar spray in the September-November.
