Mango Cultivation: January Crucial for Farmers to Boost Yields

• Farmer Sanjay Kumar, with 20 years of experience in Ghosi block, Jehanabad, shares key insights for profitable mango cultivation.
• Modern farming techniques make horticulture, including mango cultivation, more accessible and profitable.
• Farmers who missed December preparations can still till and dig around trees (3 ft circle, 6-inch depth) in January, applying Thimet and irrigating.
• Irrigate once for trees prepared in December and expected to blossom in February; late preparers may need 2-3 irrigations.
• Whitewash tree trunks up to 2 feet with lime, spray medicine after blossoming (consulting experts), and plant tall trees for wind protection.

Why It Matters: January is a critical month for mango farmers to implement practices ensuring better yields and profits.
