This study was carried out during the seasons of 2011- 2012 and 2012 -2013 to evaluate the effect of hand thinning on yield and fruit quality of ‘Murcott' tangor.In this respect, hand thinning was carried out three times, at the last week of July (after fruit drop), and the other two dates at one month intervals (August and September). The treatments included trees thinned once, twice, thrice and un-thinned trees as a control. All hand thinning treatments materially reduced both average number of fruits and yield per tree than the control. Also, these treatments increased both average fruit weight and size than the control. Carrying out hand thinning twice or three times reduced average number of fruits and yield/tree considerably than thinning once or left without hand thinning. All thinning treatments improved fruit quality in terms of increasing fruit weight and size, carotene content in peel and SSC/acid ratio in fruit juice but decreasing total acidity.
