Enhancing Awareness on S&T-Based Production Practices of Mango Growers
Authors
Abstract
The project aimed to evaluate the current challenges associated with management practices encountered by both mango growers and spray contractors. One of the highlights of this project was the information dissemination on the production practices in mango production. Proper pruning and appropriate usage of fertilizers and pesticides were also given emphasis. It was observed that mango production relied heavily on chemical-based fertilizers and pesticides. One of the challenges for the spray contractors was the farm elevation and accessibility to water. Other farmers left their mango trees to bear fruit naturally, which resulted in poor production. The capability seminar was attended by both male and female farmers. All of them were satisfied with the inputs given, which focused on the canopy, soil management, flower and pest management, proper harvesting, and post-harvesting. The activity could be an avenue to improve the mango production of the farmers in the area.
