Mango planting techniques that farmers must master

Delicious and juicy mango is a tropical fruit loved by many people. Mango sales are very high every year, and even demand falls short of supply. Mango planting is very promising, so what are the mango planting techniques?

First, establish an orchard

The establishment of mango orchard should choose the tropical environment with shelter from the wind and sun, open terrain and less overcast and rain. The soil should be loose and fertile, good drainage, rich in organic matter, moderate pH or slightly acidic sandy soil. After the orchard is completed, it is necessary to reclaim the land and be aware of the weeds in the orchard. If it is a sloping land, you should choose terraced fields for planting. Plots with smaller slopes can dig trenches.

II. Colonization

Select the seedlings of varieties with strong adaptability and disease resistance and plant them on rainy days from July to September, which can increase the chances of survival. Mango should dig a large hole before planting, and after adding enough base fertilizer, the planting spacing is generally about 5 meters. When planting, it is necessary to straighten the saplings, stretch the roots and then cultivate the soil, cultivate the soil steadily, and water it again after it is finished.

III. Daily management

1. Temperature: mango is a kind of plant that likes warmth and light, and its temperature requirements are very strict. The temperature suitable for the growth of mango trees must be above 20 degrees throughout the year, and the lowest temperature must not be lower than 15 degrees. The maximum temperature should not be higher than 37 degrees. Or the mango tree will die. In daily management, special attention should be paid to temperature to ensure the normal growth of fruit trees.

two。 Humidity: mangoes will grow well in areas with an annual rainfall of 700mm to 2000 mm. If the rainfall distribution is uneven, it will affect the growth. During the growing period, the poison in the soil should be kept at about 70%, the mango should blossom and bear fruit, and the humidity in the air should be kept at 50%, 60%.

3. Fertilization: mango trees in the young and adult stage of fertilization is not the same. The young tree stage promotes the growth of branches and leaves, mainly nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer, appropriate use of potassium fertilizer and other trace elements, topdressing five to six times a year. Adult fruit trees should apply branch and leaf fertilizer, flower and fruit fertilizer, strong fruit fertilizer and conservation fertilizer according to the situation.

4. Pruning: the pruning of mango trees is important, which will affect the yield of mangoes in the later stage. When the young tree grows to about 1 meter, it needs pruning, this stage mainly includes the cultivation of trunk and main branches, the cultivation of lateral branches and the addition of auxiliary branches, so that the plant can form a crown, which is more conducive to mango blooming and fruiting.

IV. Pest management

The common diseases of mango trees are anthracnose, powdery mildew, gum branch blight and so on. If these diseases appear, the diseased branches should be pruned in time, and the corresponding pesticides should be sprayed according to the symptoms. The common pests of mango are Spodoptera litura, small fruit fly of flat-beaked leafhopper and Spodoptera litura, which can be trapped and killed according to their habits or sprayed with appropriate pesticides.

Mangoes can be picked in advance before they are ripe, which facilitates the transportation and sale of mangoes. Ripe mangoes are easily damaged, so attention should be paid to the planting and picking of mangoes.
