Planting conditions

Climate, mango fruit plants suitable to live in an area with a dry season for 3 months. Dry period is required before and during flowering. If planted in wet areas, the plant experienced a lot of pests and diseases and fall flowers or fruit if the flowers appear on the rain.

Good soil for the cultivation of mango is loose containing sand and clay in an equal number, degree of soil acidity (pH soil) matching is 5.5 - 7.5. If the pH is below 5.5 should be limed with dolomite.

Mango which can be grown in lowland and middle with a height of 0-500 meters above sea level, in the lowlands and the middle can produce better quality fruit and more numerous than in the highlands.

Breeding can be through seeds, grafting, and graft, for breeding through seeds is not recommended because it takes a long time, and only used as a main ingredient for grafting with outboard system and is not used for enlargement

The best breeding is by grafting, by attaching shoots from the trunk upon which quality fruit rootstock to the root structure and strong plants. Root stock for grafting in the seedlings in the nursery that has been aged 9-12 months. After annealing, plant grafting proceeds transferred to the garden at the age of 1.5 years. Grafting is done in the dry season so that the taped no foul.

Transplantation, transplanted stem will have a diameter of 2.5 cm and comes from a plant
1 year old.  Graft incision length was 5 cm. Once the incision is given soil and manure in the ratio 1: 1, and then wrapped with plastic or coconut fiber.

Then once the seedlings are ready we prepare the planting media, Hole Making Plant, Planting whole made with a length, width and depth of 100 cm. At the time of excavation, excavation to a depth of 50 cm separated by excavation of a depth of 50-100 cm. Soil excavation inside mixed with manure and then dried a few days. Enter the dugouts top, followed by the quarry bottom. Making the planting hole during the dry season.

How to planting, planting hole that had been stockpiled exhumed with the length and
width of 60 cm at a depth of 30 cm, sprinkle holes with Furadan 10-25 grams. Polybag seedlings clipped to the bottom enter the soil and their seeds into the soil excavated to form ridges. Press the soil around the stem and plug the buffer timber plants.

Weeding cannot be done haphazardly grass and weeds that have been revoked can be buried or disposed of elsewhere so as not to grow again. Weeding is also usually done at the time tilling and fertilizing.

Crumble, solid ground and not overgrown grass around the base of the stem need crumbly the soil, usually at the beginning of the rainy season. Tilling the soil around the tree mango grafts should not be too deep.

Fertilization is done with organic fertilizers with a provision as follows:
1. Age of plants 1-2 years: 10 kg of manure, 5 kg manure.
2. Age of plants from 2.5 to 8 years: 0.5 kg bone flour, 2.5 kg of ash.
3. Age of plants 9 years: bone meal can be replaced chemical fertilizers SP-36, 50kg of manure, 15 kg of ash.
4. Age of plants> 10 years: 100 kg of manure, bone meal 50 kg, 15 kg of ash.
Manure used as fertilizer that has been mixed with the soil. Fertilizer application is done in the trench around the tree as deep as half an eye hoe (5 cm)

Mango grafts begin to bear fruit at the age of 4 years, mango grafting at the age of 5-6 years. many fruits first harvest only 10-15 pieces, in the year to 10 the number of fruit can reach 300-500 fruit per tree. Large harvest usually falls in the month of September to October.

The sign can already be harvested fruit is the presence of ripe fruit that falls due at least one fruit per tree, fruit color of manalagi or harumanis turned into dark green blue, the color of mango puppet gedok turns yellow or reddish Fruit learned to be still hard,if it means overcooked mushy meat usually much fibrous.
