Arunachal Pradesh having 4th ranking in concern of area of mandarin orange in the India. As comparison area, its productivity too below level. Nutrient management is the serious problem in most of the orchard along the state. The experiment was conducted during 2022-23 in Tirap district of the state to study the influence of different doses of nutrients on fruit quality parameters of mandarin orange. The total eight groups of treatments were applied with three replications in randomized block design for experiment. The T 8 reported superior in maximum parameters e.g. Plant height (25.42 cm), plant volume (4.99 cm), trunk girth (0.08 cm), leaf size (0.94 cm), fruit setting (4.99 %), average fruit weight (0.94 gm), fruit yield ( 40.85 kg/tree), fruit length (6.87 cm), fruit diameter (6.92 cm), juice per cent (35.41) and ascorbic acid (47.25%) while minimum reported with T 1.
