How to Manage Mango Trees in Winter? Latest Technical Method Tutorial
Mango is a typical tropical fruit, widely cultivated in the southern provinces of China. Because it is a tropical fruit, mango has relatively high temperature requirements, and its ability to tolerate low temperatures is relatively poor. Therefore, we should pay attention to doing a good job of mango management according to seasonal changes. Especially in winter, so how should mango be managed in winter? Let's take a look together with the editor below!
1. Spraying and Smoking
Because the temperature in winter is very low, after entering winter, the first thing we need to do well is freeze prevention work. Avoid mango being unable to adapt to the low-temperature environment and suffering cold damage. We can use sprays such as Zhihuangjin to spray mango trees, because this is a special anti-freeze spray for plants, and spraying it on the tree body can provide freeze protection. Then, before the cold air arrives, we can light some combustible materials such as straw mats in the mango orchard for smoking. This can increase the temperature in the orchard and reduce the threat of cold damage to mango trees, but we should pay attention to wind direction and safety to avoid causing fire.
2. Reasonable Watering
When growing mango trees, we should pay timely attention to the weather forecast every day. When frost is forecast, then on the afternoon of the previous day, we should promptly water once with anti-freeze water. When watering, be sure to pay attention to the water temperature; the water temperature should not be too low, so as to help raise the ground temperature and provide a good growing environment for the mango tree root system. On the morning of a frost day, it is also possible to appropriately spray some warm water to wash off the frost on the tree body and reduce frost damage. If it is dry and cold weather, then before the cold wave arrives, we should also pay attention to watering once with sufficient moisture to soak the soil.
3. Whitewashing the Tree Body
Whenever winter comes, we can find that many tree bodies have been whitewashed. Whitewashing can actually play a very good role in freeze protection for mango trees. Because the main purpose of whitewashing is to prevent pests from laying eggs on the mango tree trunk to overwinter, reduce the incidence of pests and diseases, and enhance the cold resistance of the tree body. Moreover, if there are many pests and diseases, then the growth harm caused to the tree is very great, thereby causing the tree's resistance to decrease. The main target for whitewashing mango trees is the trunk; evenly applying the whitewash agent to the base of the trunk and main branches can provide freeze protection.
4. Cleaning the Orchard and Preventing Disease
After mango harvest, orchard cleaning work should be done well, and dead branches and fallen leaves in the orchard should be centrally cleared out of the orchard, burned, or deeply buried in the soil. Then use Jinbaike, Zhibaijin, etc. to spray the whole orchard. The main purpose is to sterilize and promote wound healing of the tree body, so as to avoid being under too great a threat from pests and diseases the following year. Disease prevention work also needs special attention in winter. For example, diseases such as anthracnose and angular leaf spot all require our key prevention and control.
The above is a brief introduction to mango winter management techniques. That is all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only, and we hope it can help everyone!
