Climate & Soil

• Climate: Thrives in tropical and subtropical regions. Requires warm climate (24–30°C). Avoid frost-prone areas.
• Soil: Well-drained loamy or alluvial soil is best. pH should be 6.0–7.5. Avoid waterlogging.

Planting

• Propagation: Grafted plants are preferred for uniform yield.
• Spacing:
  • Traditional planting: 8 m × 8 m (about 100–120 trees per acre).
  • High-density planting: 5 m × 5 m (around 160 trees per acre).
• Pit Preparation: Dig pits of 1m × 1m × 1m, fill with topsoil + 20–25 kg FYM + neem cake.

Irrigation

• Water regularly during fruit setting and development stages.
• Avoid excess watering during flowering, as it reduces fruit set.
• Drip irrigation is highly recommended.

Fertilization

• Per plant annually (mature tree):
  • FYM: 20–30 kg
  • Urea: 1 kg
  • SSP: 1.5 kg
  • MOP: 0.5 kg
• Apply fertilizers in two splits: once before flowering, once after fruit set.
• Use micronutrients (zinc, boron) for better fruit quality.

Pruning & Training

• Prune young trees to form a strong framework.
• Remove dead, diseased, or overcrowded branches after harvest.

Flowering & Fruiting

• Flowering occurs mainly in January–March depending on region.
• Fruit matures in May–June.
• Average yield per tree: 80–120 kg under good management.

Pest & Disease Management

• Common pests: Mango hopper, mealybug, fruit fly.
• Diseases: Powdery mildew, anthracnose.
• Control: Regular spraying of neem-based pesticides or recommended fungicides.

Harvesting

• Harvest when fruits turn golden yellow and develop a sweet aroma.
• For better shelf life, harvest at mature green stage and allow ripening.

Profitability

• High demand in both local and export markets.
• Early bearing (3–4 years after planting).
• Superior fruit quality ensures premium pricing compared to normal varieties.
