A field experiment to investigate the effect of organic inputs, specifically FYM at 10 kg per plant, vermicompost at 10 kg per plant and a combination of FYM at 5 kg per plant with vermicompost at 5 kg per plant as the main plot treatments alongside organic formulations such as jeevamrut at 10 liters per plant, EM solution at 10 liters per plant, waste decomposer at 10 liters per plant: Tank mixture of jeevamrut and EM solution at 10 liters per plant: Tank mixture of jeevamrut and waste Decomposer at 10 liters per plant. Mix of EM solution and waste decomposer at 10 liters per plant as the subplot treatments on the quality of mango cultivar. A field trial was conducted in a nine-year-old mango orchard over the years 2023-2024 and 2024-2025. The chemical composition of mango fruits was markedly influenced by the soil application and drip application of various organic inputs and formulations. The application of vermicompost at 10 kg per plant resulted in significantly elevated values of total soluble solids (TSS): 18.00, 18.63 and 18.31 ºBrix; ascorbic acid: 52.43, 52.47 and 52.45 mg per 100 g; reducing sugars content: 6.24, 6.42 and 6.33%; non-reducing sugars content: 6.82, 7.07 and 6.95%; total sugars content: 13.06, 13.49 and 13.28%; and a reduction in acidity: 0.20, 0.17 and 0.19% in mango during the years 2023-24, 2024-25 and the pooled data, respectively.
The elevated values of these biochemical parameters were likewise seen in the tank mix of jeevamrut and EM solution at 10 liters per plant recorded the following values: TSS: 17.39, 17.95 and 17.67 ºBrix; ascorbic acid: The mango exhibited the following metrics: reducing sugar levels of 6.20%, 6.39% and 6.30%; non-reducing sugar levels of 6.39%, 6.62% and 6.51%; total sugar levels of 12.60%, 13.01% and 12.80%; and decreased acidity measurements of 0.22%, 0.20% and 0.21%, respectively, based on pooled data.
