Dear friends,

Please inform how many mango trees should be planted in one acre and after how many years should we expect the fruits.

How many approx. numbers or Kgs of fruit can we get from a full grown tree for the sake of calculation and for how many years does the tree yield fruits.

What is the best time to plant mango trees.

Experts please advise.

Thanks

Shailu.

The planting distance is 10m. x 10m. and 12m. x 12m. in dry and moist zones respectively. In the model scheme, a spacing of 8m. x 8m. with a population of 63 plants per acre has been considered. The mango orchard starts bearing from sixth year onwards and the economic life of a mango tree exceeds 35 years. Yield of fruits varies considerably according to the variety, climatic conditions, plant population etc. On an average, the yield ranges from 5 to 9 t/acre. Grafted plants start bearing early. Planting is usually done in the month of July-August in rainfed areas and during February-March in irrigated areas. In case of heavy rainfall zones, planting is taken up at the end of rainy season.
