How to manage mango after harvest

Mango we are all familiar with, is a very hot market on a tropical fruit. It is a fruit variety introduced from other places in China. It contains vitamins, carotene, protein, sugar and minerals, and its use value in the market is getting higher and higher. At present, the scale of mango cultivation in China has been expanding. How do we manage mango after harvest? Read the following together.

1. Branch pruning

Generally, after mango harvest, branches and leaves need to be pruned. At this time, the healing ability of mango trees is still relatively strong, so the damage to mango trees will be relatively small. When pruning, we mainly talk about some messy branches and leaves, pests and diseases, overgrown branches and leaves, and the branches and leaves with little fruit. Secondly, we also need to prune the canopy of mango trees reasonably to maintain a certain permeability. Finally, it is necessary to control the distance between branches at all levels of mango tree, and adjust the density between branches at all levels by traction.

2. Garden cleaning management

Garden cleaning is also a very important thing, usually after pruning. This is because we need to clean up the pruned branches and leaves, such as dead branches and leaves. It is best to clean up the pruned branches and leaves out of the garden, and then burn or bury them deeply. After the branches and leaves are cleared out, we need to carry out comprehensive disinfection and sterilization and pest control in all directions of the garden, especially in some dead corner areas, which can play a good role in preventing pests and diseases and prepare for high yield in the coming year.

3. Late topdressing

After mango fruit picking and garden cleaning, we also need to carry out topdressing, which can maintain the normal growth needs of mango trees and promote the growth of mango trees. There is also the mango tree itself after picking fruit growth is not good, so in order to improve the nutritional level of mango trees, we have to according to the mango tree growth science for topdressing maintenance fertilizer. Mango trees later topdressing generally need to be divided into two times, the first time is before and after harvest, mainly with quick-acting nitrogen fertilizer, combined with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, ternary compound fertilizer and so on. The second time is after entering winter, about November and December, when organic fertilizer is mainly applied in combination with nitrogen fertilizer. The amount of topdressing in the later stage can be said to account for about 70% of the annual fertilizer application.

4. Drainage irrigation

After mango harvest, if there is no timely watering in the dry season, it is difficult for mango trees to recover, which will have a great impact on the growth of mango trees and later results. Then we have to water the mango tree reasonably according to its water demand characteristics. Also, when there is more rainfall, we need to drain excess water out of the field to avoid causing greater losses, such as anthracnose, root rot and other diseases.

5. Prevention of freezing injury

In fact, the climatic conditions in many areas of our country are not the most suitable for planting mango trees. If no cold protection measures are taken in winter, it is also very likely that freezing damage will occur. First of all, we can whitewash the trunk in November, which not only can play a role in cold protection, but also can play a role in preventing pests and diseases.
