Mango Disease and Orchard Management
1. Pruning
Reduce tree height by pruning to make the fruit management possible.
2. Fruit thinning
Fruit count-leaf count ratio 1: 25, 1-2 fruit per inflorescence.
3. Fruit Bagging
Bagging fruit at the thumb- to egg-size stage after thinning has proved to be a very effective nonchemical technique that diminishes anthracnose infection in orchards.
The earlier fruit bagging, the better protection.
