Langra, Malda, Gulabkhas, Krishnabhog, Dashehari, Fazli, Mallika and Amrapalli.
Time of Planting: During monsoon.
| ◀ Back | Mango [ Mangifera indica Linn. ] |  |
Soil :It can be grown in a wide range of soil condition. But the crop is successfully grown in rich deep alluvial soil.
Propagation: Inarching and veneer grafting during July.
Air layering : For obtaining true to type plant air layering of one year old shoot of bearing plant is the best method when treated with IBA (500 ppm).
Planting Distance: 12 m x 12 m
| Non bearing stage (upto 3rd year) per plant/year | Bearing tree per plant/year | Old declined tree per plant/year |
| 10–15 kg FYM | 20-25 kg FYM | 50–60 kg FYM |
| 73 g N | 730 g N | 1 kg N |
| 18 g P2O5 | 180 g P2O5 | 0.5 kg P2O5 |
| 68 g K2O | 680 g K2O | 1 kg K2O |
(In case of old declined tree 3% urea as foliar spray per year after pruning).
Pinch off sprouts below the graft union regularly and pluck off panicles upto 3 years. Practise thinning of terminal shoots every year. Prune cris-cross branches once in 5 years.
1) Stem borer: Plug with kerosene dipped cotton. 2) Mango hopper : Spray 1 ml/lit. malathion. 3) Red Ants : Apply 5% malathion dust with sulphur in 2:1 ratio. 4) Pulp weevil : (i) Spray 1ml/lit. malathion or deltamethrin @ 1 ml/lit. (ii) Cultural practices like clean cultivation light hoeing and smearing & lime on the base of trunk. (iii) Combined treatment of cultural practices and spraying of deltamethrin @ 0.1% 5) Pink disease and anthracnose: Spray copper fungicide @ 0.4%. 6) Fruit Fly: Spray 1 ml/lit. malathion or bait spray of carbaryl (2g/lit) + molasses (1 g/lit) at egg laying stage. 7) Mango malformation: Deblossom affected panicles and spray 200 ppm NAA. Fruit drop: Spray 2, 4-D @ 10 ppm twice at full bloom and again after two months of 1st spray.
Harvesting: After 4 years of planting during June to August
Yield: 10 years old plant: 200-250 fruits. Plant of 20 years and above: 400-600 fruits.
Benefit: cost ratio: 4.10 for bearing plants
