Warangal Farmers Urged to Follow Best Practices for a Successful Mango Harvest
NEWS CHARIOT:-Mango, known as the “King of Fruits,” is widely cultivated across India. In Telangana, many farmers rely on mango orchards for their livelihood. In Warangal district alone, mango farming is spread across 6,000 acres, with major cultivation in Parvathagiri and Rayaparthi mandals.
Agriculture experts highlight that mango flowers bloom in three distinct stages such as Green Flowering Stage ,White Flowering Stage, Black Flowering Stage
Currently, mango crops are transitioning from the green to the white flowering stage. By April, they will enter the black flowering stage, leading to fruit formation. However, at this stage, the crops become vulnerable to pest attacks, which can impact the overall yield.
Farmers are advised to take precautionary measures during different flowering stages. During the white flowering stage, farmers should avoid unnecessary pesticide spraying, as this could cause the premature falling of mango buds.If pesticide use is necessary, experts suggest using only one recommended pesticide to protect the crop.
Once the black flowering stage begins, fruit formation takes place. Spraying pesticides at this stage will not be effective, and a light water spray is recommended instead.To tackle diseases like Powdery Mildew and Sooty Mould, agricultural experts suggest using strong sprays to improve fruit weight.
One of the major challenges in mango farming is the dropping of flowers and small fruits. In some cases, mango buds fall off when they are as small as a millet seed.The primary reason for this is irregular watering. Experts advise Red soil farms should be watered every 10 days. Black soil farms should be watered every 20 days. Applying urea at the right stage will promote healthy fruit growth and increase yield.
