Nutrition

Plant nutrition is essential for achieving optimum orchard production and fruit quality. Deficiencies, excesses, and imbalances in plant nutrients can negatively affect yield and fruit quality. Fertiliser use must be managed alongside soil moisture to ensure trees receive the necessary nutrition during different growth stages, flowering, and fruit development. Regular monitoring of plant and soil nutrient levels is vital.

By understanding how nutrients function, following the growth cycles of bearing trees, analysing soil types and conditions, and conducting regular leaf and soil tests, growers can fine-tune fertiliser programs to meet the needs of each block. Proper management of nitrogen, potassium, boron, calcium, and soil pH is key to successful mango nutrition.
