Palmer mango cultivation
Here you will learn how to make mango palmer seedlings with leaves, branches, cuttings or cuttings, seed, water . Come check it out:
seedlings
First, get a container that can be a vase, ice cream pot or pet bottle
Drill holes in the bottom for good drainage.
Soon after, place a filter that can be bedim blanket or even those fibers used in pillows
Then add plain soil and place the seed lying, without burying, on top of the soil.
I throw a layer of soil over the seed until it completely covers it. It needs to be a very ripe fruit without any pulp
Water immediately afterwards and every day
Within a month, your bud will have sprouted in such a way that it will have 2 to 3 well-arranged leaves.
Planting in pots with germination in 7 days
Check now the care for germination:Right after enjoying that delicious palmer mango, clean the pit well and with a sterilized knife make a cut, in such a way as to open the pit a little
Open this protective cover and take out the seed inside
Then get a vase between 7 and 20 liters with holes in the bottom and sides of the bottom, for good drainage.
Add a layer of crushed stone and styrofoam
Soon after, put soil fertilized with bone meal, simple soil, well-cured manure as well as worm humus, leaving a finger of space
Place the seed or seeds lying down without burying
Cover with soil until the seed is covered.
Water well with a spray bottle until the substrate is moistened.
Within 3 to 4 days the seeds will start to sprout
in pet bottle
The planting of palmer mango in pet bottle would be just for the germination process in the ground to make the seedlings, according to the example described above.
in apartment
There's a way to plant mango palms in an apartment … Do you doubt it? Then check out our tip:First, clean the mango pit well and let it dry in a dry place for 3 days. It does not need to be directly in the sun as this can kill the seed.

Then, separate a container that can be a vase or even a pet bottle.
Drill holes in the bottom of the container and place vegetable soil that would be simple soil with well-cured manure, mixed with worm humus
In the upper part of the seed there is a kind of “beak” where the roots as well as the stem of the plant will come out.

Remove all the leaves from the branch that will be grafted, taking care not to damage the budding buds.
Soon after, cut the stem of the aerial part of the seedling, completely removing its tip
With the help of pruning shears, make a V inside the stem, where the seedling was cut
Then unite the branch with the seedling and wrap it with durex or another tape to fix it well.
The thickness of the branch should be similar to the stem of the grafted seedling.
By the way, you can also tie it with a plastic, no problem

And then dormancy will be broken with potassium nitrate:First, measure the product, which will depend on the vegetative state of the plant, which can vary between 2 and 6 ml per meter, as well as the diameter of the palm tree crown. Plants with smaller vegetative size, obviously should receive the lowest doses

Pests on mango palmer
Did you think that the mango would escape from different types of pests ? Unfortunately not! Check now which are the parasites that attack the mango palmer in how to get rid of the pests :
powdery mildew
Powdery mildew is a fungus that primarily attacks the lower part of the leaves, presenting a white and grayish structure with a purulent appearance. As the days go by, this leaf becomes necrotic and has a dark color. At the top, the color turns reddish brown.
In order to control and subsequently eliminate the pest, it is necessary to spray insecticide, especially during the hottest hours of the day.
anthracnose
This pest is an infection caused by a fungus that takes advantage of hot and rainy summers for its infestation. It causes damage to the fruits, mainly, soon after the harvest. First, spots appear in the reddish brown color that ends up extending later to the fruit.
In many cases, anthracnose is confused with the disease called bitter rot. In high humidity, the plant's conidia consequently become exposed and enveloped in a mucilaginous pink mass and the fruits become shriveled and eventually fall off.
To eliminate this pest, it is necessary to remove and subsequently burn the infected fruits. In addition, the application of an appropriate fungicide will be necessary.
fruit fly
This is the queen of the mango pest infestation. Adult flies make halos on the fruits, approximately 2 cm in diameter with dark coloration. When the larvae hatch the halo turns brown in color due to the rotting of the mango palmer skin.
It is in this rotting tissue that fungi thrive. The pest prefers to attack fruits that are exposed to the sun. Consequently, because it is a shorter egg-laying insect, the species only attacks fruits at a very advanced stage of maturation. This ends up causing loss of fruit quality. Check out the procedures to eradicate the pest:
First, monitor using traps such as McPhail-type traps or traps made in plastic packaging with food attractants for flies. 5% hydrolyzed protein and 10% fruit juice, torula brown sugar as well as wine vinegar can be used. It is also possible to add 2.5% to 5% of molasses by changing the attractants every 15 days.
It is also possible to make toxic baits soaked with molasses and spray products.
Ants
This insect attacks mango trees when the mango tree is developing. It does this mainly at night, causing defoliation of the plant and in severe infestations, it can cause death of the mango palm.
It is possible to protect mango palmer seedlings by placing plastic umbrellas or even aluminum foil. To eliminate the pest, baits or powdered chemicals are used, as well as liquid insecticides applied via nebulization.
white cochineal
The white cochineal feeds on the fruits and also on the leaves of the mango palmer. To put an end to this pest, it is necessary to spray and lime sulphur, as well as mineral and vegetable oils.
thrips
Thrips is an insect that bites the underside of leaves, consequently causing the appearance of yellow and chlorotic spots that later turn brown.
In severe infestations, defoliation takes place. This attack can happen mainly at the beginning of the development of the plant, which later have withered, reduced or dry fruits. Control can only happen with specific insecticide spraying.
aphids
This tireless insect always attacks the mango trees, but mainly in the driest period. In more severe infestations, the leaves become shriveled due to the suction on the leaves caused by the pests.
Consequently, the leaves turn black, making the plant's photosynthesis process difficult. The elimination of this pest is done only by spraying a specific insecticide.
