The present study was conducted during the three consecutive seasons of 2019, 2020 and 2021 in a private mango orchard situated at Draw region, Aswan governorate where the texture of the soil is sandy. Among various nutrients, the role of Ca, Zn and B is very important. Therefore, balanced application and uptake of Ca, B and Zn can improve the quality and yield of mango trees. So, a field study was conducted with the hypothesis that combined application of these nutrients would be effective to increase the vegetative growth and improve yield and quality of Naomi Mango trees. These treatments significantly improved the shoot length, leaf area and leaf chlorophyll as well as panicle length and number/tree, yield, total soluble solids and sugar contents. Data indicated that Ca plus Zn was effective than other treatment and control. Moreover, Ca plus Zn was found more effective in growth traits, while Ca plus B was found more efficacious of quality and yield of Naomi mango trees. It is concluded that to improve the growth, yield and quality of Naomi Mango trees would to spray calcium beside zinc or boron.
