In this exclusive video, Senior Scientist Javed Iqbal from Mango Research Center Shujabad provides a complete research-based guide to mango farming in Pakistan. 🌱🥭

If you are planning to establish a mango orchard or already have one, this video will give you step-by-step practical knowledge from planting to harvesting, including fertilizer management, protection from climate extremes, pest control, and recommended mango varieties.

1️⃣ How to Plant Mango Trees Properly

Best soil type, drainage, and sunlight requirements.

Ideal planting seasons: February–March or August–September (AARI Punjab – Precise Mango Cultivation).

Pit preparation, organic matter, and spacing.


2️⃣ Protection of Young Mango Plants

Summer protection: providing shade, mulching, and regular watering (Mango Research D.G. Khan Guide).

Winter protection: using straw, grass, and covers to prevent frost damage. Open the southern side for sunlight.


3️⃣ Irrigation Management

Newly planted trees: irrigation once a week is recommended.

During rainy season: ensure proper drainage to avoid root rot.

Mature orchards: adjust irrigation according to fruiting stage and soil conditions.


4️⃣ Fertilizer and Nutrient Schedule

Apply Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium according to the growth stage.

Micronutrients (Zinc, Boron, Iron) are often deficient in Multan region soils and must be applied regularly (ResearchGate Study).

Post-harvest fertilization is important for next season’s yield (Mango.org – Nutrition Guide).


5️⃣ Flowering and Fruiting Stage

In the first 3–4 years, remove flowers to allow proper vegetative growth.

Manage water stress and nutrient application for good flowering and fruit set.

Post-harvest handling and heat treatments like Hot Water Treatment (HWT) improve fruit shelf life (MDPI Research on Chenab Gold Mango).


6️⃣ Climatic Challenges

Heat waves reduce fruit size and cause flower drop (FairPlanet Report).

Frost causes severe damage to young trees; frost protection is necessary.

Soil properties such as pH, EC, and organic matter directly affect micronutrient availability (ResearchGate Soil Study).


7️⃣ Diseases and Pest Management

Common mango pests and diseases can be controlled by preventive sprays and orchard hygiene.

Use Hot Water Treatment (HWT) and Vapor Heat Treatment (VHT) to reduce fruit fly and fungal infectio
✔️ Variety Selection – Chaunsa, Sindhri, Anwar Ratol, Langra, and new research-based varieties show good adaptability.
✔️ Soil Testing – Always test your soil before applying fertilizers.
✔️ Climate Management – Provide shade in extreme heat and frost protection in winter.
✔️ Micronutrients – Zinc, Boron, and Iron sprays are essential for good fruit quality.
✔️ Post-Harvest Care – Heat treatments and proper storage increase shelf life and export quality.
