Description
Mango (Mangifera indica Linnaeus) is one of the most popular and earliest cultivated fruits of tropical and sub-tropical regions, and is grown in more than 100 countries. It is ranked the second most cultivated tropical fruit and sixth major fruit crop worldwide, and the fruit has a high cropping potential under climate change scenarios. The principal mango producing countries are India, China, Thailand, Indonesia, and Pakistan. In Bangladesh, which ranks ninth, about 242,605 tons of fruit are produced from an area of 51,012 ha, with an average yield of 4.75 tons per ha, although it falls short of fulfilling national demand. Therefore, mango fruit seems to be one in all the crucial food sources for the systematically growing world population. Irregular flowering, low fruit set, as well as fruit retention leading to low yield, fruit of poor quality, and a short harvest period are the main hindrances to increasing mango availability. Indeed, the nomenclature of mango varieties is still quite confusing. Up to currently there have been no well-defined scientific principle to differentiate them. The objective of the opening chapter of the present work is to compare the different clustering methods in assessing genetic divergence among mango accessions, as well as identify the minimum efficient descriptors for that crop. Combinations of fertilizer rates, foliar N sprays, irrigation practices, and paclobutrazol were studied in next chapter to determine how much they could alter and/or improve mango (Mangifera indica L.) growth, flowering, and yield. Further, it highlights the management of mango hopper, idioscopus clypealis, using chemical insecticides and neem oil; efficacy of different fungicides against mango anthracnose in senegalese soudanian agroclimate; influence of tree age and variety on allometric characteristics and water use of mangifera indica l.
