3rd year irrigation should be given at weekly intervals
4th and 5th year onwards mango plants may be irrigated at 7 to 10 days interval
First irrigation at fruit set
Second irrigation, one month after first irrigation when fruits are of marble size
Third irrigation,20 to 30 days after second irrigation
fruiting period needs 2 to 4 irrigations
no irrigation during flowering and one month before harvesting.
necessary to test the water for quality because many salts are dissolved in it
17. Inter Cultivation & Weed Control
18 August 2018 Shekhar Jyoti Das 17
In bearing orchards at least 2 times in a year the inter spaces should
be ploughed - one with onset of monsoon, the second one at the end
of the monsoon
Weedicides like Glyphosate (8-10 ml per liter) + 20g of ammonium
sulphate or urea spray on grass control them while spray of Atrataf @
800g for 240 liters of water per hectare control broad leaved weeds
18. Training
18 August 2018 Shekhar Jyoti Das 18
Do not allow branches to develop from a single point as it will weaken
the plant.
Remove criss cross branches and Twigs out of place, off shoots and
twigs.
Remove also branches that have tendency to grow down
No training after bearing starts.
19. Pruning
18 August 2018 Shekhar Jyoti Das 19
