Mango Farming

Mango farming involves the cultivation and harvesting of the mango tree and its fruit. Mango trees can be grown in tropical and subtropical regions and require well-drained soil and consistent moisture. Proper care and management, including pruning, fertilization, and pest control, is necessary for healthy growth and fruit production. The fruits are usually harvested when they are fully ripe and have reached their characteristic colour and aroma. Mangoes can be eaten fresh or used in a variety of culinary dishes.

How to do mango farming?

1. Selecting a suitable site: Mango trees require well-drained soil and full sunlight. They can be grown in tropical and subtropical regions.
2. Obtaining healthy and disease-free plant material: Purchase young mango plants from reputable nurseries.
3. Preparing the land: Clear the land of weeds and debris, and test the soil to determine its pH and nutrient levels. Adjust the soil as necessary.
4. Planting the trees: Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the roots of the plant. Plant the tree at the same depth it was growing in the container. Backfill the hole with soil and press down firmly. Water the tree well.
5. Caring for young trees: Water the tree frequently, and provide it with a balanced fertilizer. Prune the tree to shape it and remove any dead or diseased wood.
6. Irrigation: Provide irrigation to the young trees in dry seasons to help them establish. Once the trees are established, they require less water.
7. Fertilization: Mango trees require regular fertilization with a balanced fertilizer.
8. Pest and disease control: Keep an eye out for pests and diseases that may affect the tree's growth. Address any issues promptly.
9. Harvesting: Wait until the mangoes are ripe and have reached their characteristic color and aroma before harvesting.

Note: Mango farming is a long-term investment and it takes around 3-5 years for a mango tree to start bearing fruit.
