Mango (Mangifera indica L
Family Anacardiaceae) is the
second major fruit crop in
Pakistan.

4. Production in Pakistan
Pakistan produces 5.86 percent

temperatures are extremely harmful. Frosts and
 hot winds cause great damage to the trees. Young
plants need protection against frost and hot winds.
 A hot and humid climate is suitable.

6. Propagation:
 Suitable age of nursery plant for transplanting: 1.5 to 2.0 year
 Time for transplanting: Feb/March
 Time to start of bearing: 4-5 years
 Time to full bearing: 6-7 years
 Normal economic bearing life: 30-50 years
 Time of flowering: Feb/Mar

7. Commercial varieties:
 Sindh: Sindhri, Gulabkhas, Swarnarice, Baganpalli, Collector, Neelum

8. Production technology:
Irrigation intervals:
 Young plants 7 days
 Mature trees in winter 15-20 days
 Mature trees in summer 8-10 days

9. Fertilizer:
 Apply farm yard manure at the rate of 10-30 kg per young
plant and 80 to 100 kg per full grown tree.
 Apply 3-4 kg SSP, 2-3 kg Potassium Sulphate and 2-3 kg
Urea before flowering (Dec to Jan).
 Apply a further 2-3 kg Urea after fruit setting in two
equal doses (Mar/Apr).

mature. Natural drop of the fruit is
the main indication that the fruit
is ready for picking.
