Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is known as "king of fruits" due to its delicious taste and unique flavor. It is an important tropical fruit, belongs to family Anacardiaceae, and has been cultivated all over the world. Mango is major fruit owing to its particular climatic requirements, taste, high nutritive value, its demand and trade is rapidly expanding across the globe. Mango orchards suffering different kind of problems in nursery, poor health of tree (field), quick decline, infestation of insects and pests and lack of proper nutrition, which are principles reasons for devastation of mango orchards. Therefore, to obtain high production, good nutrition is very important with good practices, which are certainly needed to improve orchard conditions. This study was carried out with different combinations of nutrients to understand the growth physiology, increase the yield response and reduce the occurrence of malformation of mango. As, it has been revealed that healthy trees are more resistant against all kind of natural problems. It was found that balanced nutrients (N,P,K) improve vegetative and reproductive growth, increased the yield and reduced the incidence of malformation .
