Anthracrose : Two sprays of Baristin (0.1%) at fortnight interval.

Malformation : One spray of 200 ppm NAA in October followed by deblossoming at bud burst
stage in December - January.

Fruit drop : Regular irrigation during fruit development, timely and effective control of pests
and diseases and spraying 20 ppm NAA at pea size of fruits.

Harvesting and yield :

Graft plants start bearing at the age of 3 - 4 years (10-20 fruits) to give optimum crop from 10-
15th year which continues to increase upto the age of 40 years under good management

Post Harvest Management :

Storage : Shelf life of mangoes being short (2 to 3 weeks) they are cooled as soon as possible
to
storage temperatue of 13 degree Celcius. A few varieties can withstand storage temperature of
10
degree Celcius. Steps involved in post harvest handling include preparation, grading, washing,
drying, waxing, packing, pre-cooling, palletisation and transportation.

Packaging : Mangoes are generally packed in corrugated fibre board boxes 40 cm x 30 cm x


20cm in size. Fruits are packed in single layer 8 to 20 fruits per carton. The boxes should have
sufficient number of air holes (about 8% of the surface area) to allow good ventillation.
Financial institutions have also formulated mango financing schemes in potential areas for
expansion of area under mango. Individual mango development schemes with farm
infrastructure
facilities like well, pumpset, fencing and drip irrigation system etc. have also been considered.
