HOW TO TAKE CARE OF MANGO TREE FLOWERING

HELLO GUYS, welcome back👋👋👋 to my blog and I hope I will help you all in farming with all my interesting posts. And guys today I am gonna tell you how to take care of flowering 🎕🎕🎕of mango trees and what to use during the the flowering period which yields in good crop.

Many times it so happens that there are plenty of mango tree flowers but no fruits😔, so what to do if the tree does not produce fruits. Guys in todays blog I am gonna discuss why this happens and precautions.

There will be a plenty of mangoes at the beginning but slowly the count of mangoes get decreased. There will several reasons they might be lack of improper watering, fertilizer and diseases, heavy wind storms also was one of the reason.

There will be plenty of mango tree flowers but no fruits, cause of premature and untimely fall of mango fruits from the tree. When a young mango tree in its young age can produce about 25 fruits annually it was matter of joy and excitement😍😍. But after few weeks or few days the mangoes starts falling off it was very sad to see that ultimately only some of them matured and tastes so yummy !😋😋😋 And the questions here was in spite of so many flowers , the tree do not produce fruits because most of the fruits drop at an early stage. WHAT CAUSE PREMATURE FRUIT DROP???

The initial falling of mangoes from stalks is quite common and not due to any insects or other problem. A tree cannot support all the heavy fruit set, only a certain percentage of it can mature to full size fruit. Dropping of some mango fruits is a normal thinning process of tree to properly utilize the available nutrients. The immature fruits are all competing for the available food and water. The strongest will survive.

There are, however, many factors that may be responsible for the tree to shed its fruits. The weather, dry weather or too much rain, high temperatures, inadequate soil moisture, lack of pollination and ovule abortion, embryo degeneration, pests, insects, diseases, lack of fertilizer, failure of fertilization, wrong time of fertilization and low photosynthate level can cause the young fruits to fall off.

Getting right amount of water is an important factor for the growth of a mango trees. Too much water can cause fruit dropping prematurely. Note that a mature mango tree do not require frequent watering. For a young tree, water about two times a week in the first year and thereafter after 4-5 days

Mango trees grow well in warm tropical climates. However, a mature tree can withstand low temperatures. Cover the tree to protect it from frost. Do not prune dead branches if the frost continues. The mango tree fruit may fall if there was a cold weather during bloom and fruit set. The cold damages the developing embryo in the seed, due to which the ethylene gas given off by the damaged embryo causes fruits to drop before maturity.

Severe pruning of the mango tree may reduce fruit production for many fruiting cycles. Pruning should, therefore, only be done to remove broken or diseased plant stems and leaves.

AND THE MAIN THING HERE COMES!!

HOW TO PROTECT MANGO FLOWERING

Fungal disease such as anthracnose, Gummosis, sooty mold, and powdery mildew [3] on the tree can cause premature dropping of mango fruit. The anthracnose disease attacks all parts of the mango tree making black spots on leaves, flowers and even fruits , but does the most damage to the flower panicles, so it is the most dangerous disease resulting in less or no fruiting. Due to anthracnose, the infected mango fruits drop early from the tree and fruit that initially appears unaffected quickly decays upon ripening and also the tree start losing leaves. Due to powdery mildew fruit, foliage and stems are covered with a white powdery substance, whereas anthracnose causes dark spots on leaves. As the fallen diseased twigs, leaves and fruits on the ground are a potential source of infection, never allow them to remain on the ground for too long. Prune dead branches and leaves from the tree regularly to avoid any disease to the tree.

Dispose of all infected parts of the plant in the rubbish or burn them.

Keep the area around the plant as weed free as possible.

Use a fungicide if the fungal problem persists. If the tree is already affected by anthracnose, and/or powdery mildew infection, it is too late to spray for these now. To avoid these fungal disease problems in the future, spray trees when they begin to form flower spikes.

For anthracnose, spray a copper fungicide and use a sulfur fungicide for powdery mildew. The Mango anthracnose can be controlled by an organic spray of garlic or ginger or turmeric. Grind and add to water with some liquid dish washing soap.

Guys, this was our mango farming you can see how beautiful and how the mango flowering was. By following the instructions and precautions which I had shared with you through this blog you can also create the same amount of flowering.
