Abstract
The present investigation was carried out during 2000/2001 and 2001/2002 seasons to study the effect of time and pruning severity on growth, flowering and fruiting of Hindi Bisinnara mango trees. Three pruning treatments were used: pinching (removing the apical buds of terminal flushes), heading back (removing half length of terminal flushes) and removing the entirely terminal flushes of the tree, and the control which were left without pruning. Pruning was carried out monthly from the first week of October up to the first week of February. Results indicated that, all pruning treatments delayed flowering commencement by decreasing percentage of early flowering comparing to the control, except pinching in October which increased this percent. Pinching or heading back increased the number of panicles per shoot, yield as number or weight of fruits per tree at harvest while, decreased panicle length and fruit weight. On the other hand removing the entire terminal flushes slightly increased fruit weight, subsequently significantly decreased yield as number and weight of fruits per tree at harvest. In general pinching or heading back in December increased tree yield of mango Hindi Bisinnara cv.
