Detailed Explanation of Key Techniques for High-Yield Mango Cultivation

Mango is a common tropical fruit, deeply loved by consumers for its unique fragrance, sweet-and-sour taste and rich nutrition. In addition, there are also many processed products made from it, and its economic value is extremely high. So do you know how it is grown? Follow Qinnong Network below to take a look at the high-yield cultivation techniques for mango.

1. Site Selection and Orchard Establishment

Choose a sheltered, sunny place with open terrain, a good ecological environment and fewer rainy days. The soil is best loose and fertile, with good drainage and rich in organic matter. When establishing and dividing a large orchard, it is best to combine this with transportation and terrain, while a small orchard can be divided according to actual conditions, or not divided at all. After the orchard is established, the plot should be reclaimed and weeds and debris in the orchard cleared. For sloping land, use the terraced planting method, while for plots with less slope, the trench-digging method can be used.

2. Planting

Choose saplings of varieties with strong adaptability, stress resistance and disease resistance. It is best that the sapling roots are not damaged. The best planting time is during rainy weather from July to September, which helps the survival rate of planting. Before planting, first dig large holes and fill them with sufficient base fertilizer, then plant. When planting, pay attention to the plant and row spacing; generally the plant and row spacing is 5m× 3m. When planting, straighten the sapling and spread out the roots before earthing up. After earthing up, firm the soil and water once to settle the roots.

3. Orchard Management

Orchard management mainly consists of intertillage and weeding, topdressing and watering. From planting until the saplings survive, the soil must be kept moist to ensure survival. In addition, water promptly during dry seasons, and do good drainage work during rainy seasons. To help the plants grow well and rapidly and increase yield, topdressing is key. In the early growth stage of young trees, provide sufficient nitrogen fertilizer; in the middle stage when the canopy takes shape, mainly apply phosphorus fertilizer and nitrogen fertilizer; at the flowering stage and mixed fruit stage, reduce the application of phosphorus fertilizer and nitrogen fertilizer and apply more potassium fertilizer, which can increase yield.

4. Tree Management

Tree management mainly involves pruning young trees and mature trees, and the shaping and pruning of young trees is especially important because it affects yield. When young trees grow to about 1 m, pruning can begin, mainly including determining the trunk, cultivating main branches, cultivating side branches and increasing auxiliary branches, so that the plant forms a canopy with a very wide spread and produces more flowers and fruit. Pruning of mature trees mainly involves pruning branches, removing some leggy branches, weak branches, diseased branches and dense branches to increase the plant's airiness and light penetration and achieve the goal of high-quality production.

5. Pest and Disease Control

Common mango diseases are gummosis and powdery mildew. When planting, choose varieties with strong disease resistance. During cultivation, frequently clear weeds and debris to reduce pathogens, prune branches to increase air and light penetration, and prevent pathogen breeding. When disease occurs, sprays can be used for control. The main insect pests are citrus fruit flies and longhorn beetles, among others. They mainly suck sap or gnaw leaves, causing weak plant growth or reduced yield, and can be controlled with insecticides.
