Planting Methods and Key Technical Points for Seedless and Small-Seeded Mangoes
How is mango grafting and seedling propagation carried out? Please guide. For mango grafting and seedling propagation techniques, you can refer to the following: 1. Scion selection: Collect scions from a superior stock mother tree garden or from excellent individual trees of mature mother trees. The mother plant must be of a pure variety, high-yielding, consistently productive, high-quality, and free of quarantine pests and diseases. Nursery sites with the necessary conditions should all have a scion collection orchard, dedicated to collecting...
Mango is known as the "king of fruits" for its excellent color and flavor. Mango trees grow fast and vigorously, bear fruit early, live long, and are easy to cultivate and manage, giving them broad cultivation prospects in tropical and subtropical regions. However, ordinary mangoes are generally of average quality, with large seeds and a low edible rate, which is their one shortcoming. Being able to make mangoes seedless or small-seeded and increase the edible rate of the fruit is of great significance for raising the economic value of mangoes and strengthening their market competitiveness. Technical advancement: Based on the mechanism by which seedless and small-seeded mango fruits are produced, this technology developed the NG regulator, using the NG regulator to induce seed abortion to produce "paper seeds," and enabling "paper-seed" fruits to develop normally just like fruits with normal seed embryos. Generally, the edible rate of the fruit is only 65%; after induction, the edible rate of the fruit reaches 85%, with an induction rate of 80%, and it can also make the fruit somewhat larger. After treatment, the average single fruit weight increases by 48% compared with the control single fruit, and the quality and flavor show no difference from the control fruit. It absolutely does not produce pollution of natural conditions or harm to consumers. The technology has passed appraisal organized by the Guangdong Provincial Science and Technology Commission. Investment and market analysis: This technology is simple to operate, easy for producers to master, uses a small amount of chemicals, and has low cost. The whole process requires 100 yuan per mu. Because the treated fruit is seedless or small-seeded, has a high edible rate, and has higher economic value, the price difference between the fruit and fully seeded fruit is very large, generally 20-30 yuan per kg difference. Calculating at the lowest rate of 8 yuan, the value increase per mu is no less than 1000 yuan. 4. Scope of application: This technology is suitable for use on high-quality mangoes such as Dongzhen Red Mango, Red Mango No. 6, and Green Skin Mango.
