Aid your mango tree to bloom flowers by using potassium nitrate or calcium nitrate.
Mango is naturally a seasonal crop it usually bears fruit from April to June.
However, with the discovery of flower induction like potassium nitrate and calcium nitrate, this chemicals is a big help to initiate flower development.
And now happily this sweet mango fruit is available all year round. Potassium nitrate has been shown to stimulate flowering in sufficiently mature stems.
How is the procces of applying this chemical to mango tree?
To ensure flower induction, the timing of applying the potassium nitrate or calcium nitrate solution to the mango tree, you need first to check the leaves, remember only mature dark leaves, at least six month-old stems, will produce flower. Flower induction using potassium nitrate is usually start in December to March following the natural season. But in the advent of paclobutrazol a chemical discovered as a growth regulator, the stem of newly flush leaves will mature in just 4 months does it is posible to induce flower as early as September to Oktober. Which contribute to off season fruits.
In applying calcium and potassium nitrate just mix four kilos to six kilos per two hundred liters of water or three hundred twenty grams to four hundred eighty grams per sixteen liters bucket. Spray the solution to tree, and make sure, you cover the leaves and the stem totaly wet with spray solution.
After nine days to 12 days the bud breaks, and flower start to appear. After 21 to 26 days mango flower start to prebloom and pollinators start hovering the flowers.
pollination by pollinators contributes to maximum fruit set. Common pollinators include bees, wasps, moths, butterflies, flies, and others.
Not all flowers produced will set fruit. Proper pollination is essential for the fruit to set and develop fully. Even after adequate pollination, only a few proportions of flowers set fruits because of massive drop of flowers and fruits due to several factors such as weather conditions and pest infestations. So applying organic fungicide and insecticide may be needed. In comercial farming, farmers relying heavely on syntetic chemical to control diseases and pest.
after thirty days to thirtyfive days fruitlets appear and this develope into small mangoes. To prevent fruitfly in damaging the developing mangoes, farmers practice bagging mango fruits one by one. one hundred teen days until one hundred twenty days is needed to fully mature mango fruits, and enjoy the your favorite mangoes.
