Agricultural technology for growing mango seeds
Mango is an evergreen tree that belongs to the Sumacaceae family. Mango is a valuable fruit tree that produces fruits with a pleasant taste and aroma.
Mangoes are native to tropical and subtropical regions, but they grow best in regions with warm, humid climates.
1. Variety selection
When choosing a mango variety, you need to consider the following factors:
- Purpose of cultivation. For cultivation as a fruit tree, varieties with high yields and good quality fruits are selected.
- Winter hardiness. Some mango varieties can tolerate short-term frosts, while others require protection from the cold.
2. Soil preparation
Mango is a light-loving and moisture-loving plant, so to grow it you need to prepare a sunny and well-drained place.
The soil for planting mangoes must be fertile and neutral or slightly alkaline.
3. Landing
Mango seedlings are planted in the spring, when the threat of frost has passed.
Seedlings are planted in planting holes with a depth and diameter of 60-70 cm. A drainage layer of broken brick or crushed stone is poured into the planting hole, then a layer of fertile soil. The seedlings are planted so that the root collar is at soil level. After planting, the seedlings are watered abundantly.
4. Plant care
Mango is an unpretentious plant, but to get a good harvest the following measures must be taken:
- Watering. Mango is a moisture-loving plant, so it is necessary to water the plants regularly during the growing season. Water the plants 2-3 times a week, using 10-15 liters of water per 1 m².
- Feeding. During the period of active plant growth, 2-3 fertilizing with mineral fertilizers is carried out. The first feeding is carried out in the phase of 3-4 true leaves, the second - in the flowering phase, the third - in the fruiting phase.
- Trimming. To form a mango crown, pruning is carried out. Pruning is carried out in the spring, before the buds open.
- Protection from pests and diseases. Mango is susceptible to various diseases and pests. To protect plants from pests and diseases, it is necessary to carry out preventive treatments.
5. Harvest
Mangoes ripen depending on the variety between May and September. Mango ripening is determined by yellowing and shedding of the stalks. Mangoes are harvested by hand, carefully cutting off the fruit with the stalk.
Some tips for growing mangoes
- To obtain an earlier harvest, mangoes can be grown as seedlings. Mango seedlings are grown at home or in greenhouses.
- To increase the yield of mango, you can grow it next to other crops that repel pests.
If you follow the agricultural techniques for growing mangoes, you can get a good harvest of tasty and healthy fruits.
Notes
- To grow mangoes in open ground in regions with cold climates, it is necessary to choose frost-resistant varieties.
- Insecticides and fungicides must be used to protect mangoes from pests and diseases.
- To get a good mango harvest, you must follow the watering and fertilizing regime.
