Crop : Mango

Mango farming involves the cultivation of mango trees, primarily for their sweet and flavorful fruits. Mango trees (Mangifera indica) thrive in tropical and subtropical climates with well-drained soils and ample sunlight. Mango trees prefer warm temperatures ranging from 25°C to 30°C (77°F to 86°F) and require frost-free conditions. They grow well in a variety of soil types, including loamy, sandy, or lateritic soils, as long as they are well-drained and have good organic matter content. Mango trees can be propagated through seeds, grafting, or budding. However, for commercial purposes, grafting onto suitable rootstocks is preferred to ensure desired fruit quality and characteristics.

Mango trees should be planted during the rainy season to ensure proper establishment. Spacing between trees depends on the variety and the intended management practices but typically ranges from 10 to 15 meters apart. Young mango trees require regular watering to establish strong root systems. Once established, mature trees are relatively drought-tolerant but benefit from supplemental irrigation during dry periods, especially when fruiting.

Snehasrushti Products Goals

Organic farming products aim to achieve several objectives that prioritize environmental sustainability, human health, and animal welfare. Organic farming aims to minimize the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. Instead, it relies on natural methods such as crop rotation, composting, and biological pest control to maintain soil fertility and control pests and diseases. Organic farming practices focus on maintaining and enhancing soil health by promoting biodiversity, reducing soil erosion, and improving soil structure.

Mangoes are grown in more than 100 countries around the world, with major producers including India, China, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

In India, mango cultivation is widespread, with major producing states including Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Bihar. Mangoes thrive in warm, tropical climates with temperatures between 24°C to 30°C (75°F to 86°F) and annual rainfall of 1000-2500 mm. They require well-drained, fertile soils with good organic matter content. Mango trees can tolerate a range of soil types, including sandy loam, clay loam, and lateritic soils.
