Abstract: The results of present investigation entitled “Effect of foliar application of manganese and ferrous on vegetative growth, fruit yield and quality of mandarin (Citrus reticulata Blanco) cv. Kinnow” conducted at the School of Agricultural Sciences, G. H. Raisoni University, Dhoda Borgaon, Saikheda. Dist. Chhindwara, M. P during 2018-19. An attempt has been made to work out the effect of manganese and ferrous on vegetative growth and fruit yield cv. Kinnow. The highest increase in shoot length (32.83%), canopy area E-W (17.80%), canopy area N-S (35.37%), and tree height (4.97%) recorded in treatment T₉ (1.0% MnSO₄ + 1.0% FeSO₄). The maximum fruit diameter (0.23 cm & 0.17 cm), fruit weight (0.56 g), fruit volume (1.42 cc), fruit retention (0.26%), number of fruit per plant (417.33), yield plant^-1 (56.33 kg), yield ha^-1 (22.93 t ha^-1) was recorded in treatment T₈ (1.0% MnSO₄ + 0.5% FeSO₄).
