Alphonso Mango Farming Tips in India - Mango Benefits

Mangoes, especially Alphonso ones, are rich in vitamin C, which boosts immunity. They also have enzymes for digestion and minerals like potassium and magnesium for muscle health.

Mangoes grow best with good rain from June to October and dry weather after November. However, wet weather during bloom can cause diseases and pests in mango trees.

Plant the Alphonso mango tree 35 feet away from other trees for space to grow and more fruit. Dig a hole as deep as the tree's roots, put the tree in, and fill the hole with soil, covering all origins.

Watering depends on tree age, soil type, and climate. Water young mango trees every 2-6 days, older ones weekly, and mature ones every 7-20 days. Light soil needs more water than heavy soil.

Searles Fruit & Citrus Food is applied for mango fertilization. It supports the growth of large fruits. It's used for young trees in spring and summer and for bearing trees in early and late summer.

Mangoes are picked by hand using a long pole with a bag attached. After picking, they're put in a container lined with plastic or sack to keep them safe.
