Abstract:

The present studies were conducted to explore the relation of micronutrient deficiency with malformation disease in three commercial mango cultivars viz. Dusehri, Langra and Malda. The concentrations of Co, Ni, Cr, Cd, Pb and Mg were analyzed in healthy and malformed organs of mango. This comparison indicated that these minerals have slight differences in concentration and their contents did not vary significantly between healthy and malformed variables. Some differences among concentration of magnesium in malformed and healthy parts of three cultivars were detected. The results of the study suggest that nutrients play no role in producing symptoms of mango malformation.
