Determining the Land and proper climate



Choosing a land for planting, the PH must be around 6 to 8 to determine the proper place in planting mango. Samples of the soil can be taken to laboratories or there are kits sold in the agriculture supplies to check the PH balance of the soil. By determining the PH of the soil, it can help you prepare the soil for planting. Other preparation such as fertilization may take place if it does not meet the proper PH requirement of the soil.

Climate is also one of the important things to consider in planting mango. It can affect the mango plant. Not knowing this conditions such as the climate, humidity and temperature might help or hinder the growth of the plant.

Choose the proper place with the right soil, climate, humidity, temperature and wind strength to have a more productive and quality mango. It is also important to know the best months in producing the mango. Different place shows different weather conditions, depending on the months.

For places with less dry season, it will give your mango tree more leaves but less or no flowering. Or too much dry season will give your mango tree short dormancy that causes insufficient growth in the leaves.

One of the best place in planting mango is in the Philippines because of two seasons. It gives an ample time for the mango to rejuvenate as well as to properly change the leaves for the flowering. But proper care must be administered for it to have good outcome.
Aside from having a good land and climate, the soil flatness must be considered to have an even distribution of sunlight. Planting mango help prevent soil erosion. Some say that mangoes are sweetest when planted along in hillside.
