Various bird species are seen during the fruit bearing season & otherwise too, ensuring no wild animals/birds are harassed, or pestered, or pest animals/birds are managed through non-lethal methods, or leave a percentage of crop for their survival - usually 1-2% of unreachable fruits on the tree & other papaya, and black jamoon trees.

The approach on ensuring best quality fresh mangoes achieved milestone acclaimed year on year we would like to take you through the stages followed at various intervals.

Propagation

We have farmers should always get vegetatively propagated, true to type plants from recognized nurseries who have been trained & adept in grafting skills. Inarching, veneer grafting, side grafting and epicotyl grafting are the popular methods of propagation in mango time and tested.

Planting

Land has been chosen and has been segregated based on the sort of breed asin the fruit bearing & maintenance based on the fruit variety has been kept in mind while planting, hence hectares of land has been kept separate as per the yield at different yield. Each piece of land has been prepared by deep ploughing followed by harrowing and levelling with a gentle slope for good drainage. Spacing varies from 6 m x 6 m to 10m to 10 m depending on the breed again, in the dry zones where growth is less. New dwarf hybrids like Dussehar & alphonso has been planted at closer spacing. Pits are filled with original soil & red soil mixed with 20-25 kg well rotten locally generated manure, 2.5 kg single super phosphate and 1 kg muriate of potash. Its currently six year young & highly productive combined with significant growth tree. Plants has been connected with two pronged water supply one its been drip irrigated to ensure least water wastage & is been connected with line irrigation too. The complete farm is been fenced & well protected from external/stray animals & langoors with innovative mechanisms and customized devices designed to keep them at bay forever easy to operate & install.

Training and pruning

From time to time we have ensured one meter from the base on the main trunk should be kept free from branching and the main stem spaced at 20-25 cm apart in such a way that they grow in different directions. Branches which cross over/rub each other may be removed at pencil thickness. It has been so well maintained that it has taken a shape of ball with thick foliage & multiple branches for maximum yield year on year.

Irrigation

Entire farm is drip irrigated & external water housing reservoir catering for 15000 ltrs of water. Trees are watered frequently for proper establishment, irrigation at 10 to 15 days interval from fruit set to maturity is beneficial for improving yield. However, irrigation is discontinued and is not recommended for few months prior to flowering since it would be taken at the vegetative growth at the expense of flowering.

Inter cropping

It's been done considering the initial growth & nourishment for the new saplings planted for initial 3 years alternatively with to enhance the soil nutrition combined with natural vermin compost to nourish with legumes for short duration along with other intercrops depending on the agro-climatic factors of the region. All this were suitable meticulously planned the existing water and nutrient requirements of the saplings which were met separately.

Plant Protection

At our farm takes highest precautionary measures to ensure & curtail any damages by a large number of local pests, diseases and disorders to which mangoes are prone to & typically found and addressed in the below manner:

Fruit drop :
Regular irrigation during fruit development, timely and effective control of pests and diseases and spraying 20 ppm NAA at pea size of fruits. They are treated with pesticides & insecticides in addition to that regular pruning to keep tree free from unwanted foliage and fresh foliage.

Harvesting and yield :
The period from month of December to February is the time when mango tree in full flower is a sight to behold. Hybrid/Graft trees start bearing at the age of 4 - 6 years (20-50 fruits) to give optimum crop from 10-15th year which continues to increase upto the age of 40 years under good management which is our constant endeavor.
