Frontline demonstration was carried out at farmers’ orchard of Darzo Village, Mizoram during the year 2019 - 2020 to evaluate the effect of nutrient input on the yield characters of Mandarin orange and its impact on soil health. Demonstrated and control plots were assigned at farmers orchard. Soil test base nutrients were applied as NPK 0.700, 0.400, 0.500 kg in the form of urea, SSP and MOP per tree, slaked lime 3kg per tree and farm yard manure 5kg per tree, meanwhile control plots were maintained at the orchard. Studies revealed that fruit physical and quality parameters were enhanced with the application of balance nutrients. Soil physico-chemical properties – soil organic carbon, available nitrogen and available phosphorus content of the soil increases with integrated nutrient application, which resulted to increase in yield of fruits. Decrease in soil reaction was due to application of organic inputs.
