6.TOMMY MANGO
Hailing originated from Florida, Tommy Atkins is the most widely grown commercial variety going into the United States.Tommy Atkins is a mango cultivar; it is the world's most-valued
and commercially traded mango because it has a very long shelf
life and tolerance of handling and transportation with little or no
bruising or degradation.The variety, however, may not be considered by many as the best if you are looking for sweetness and flavor.Commercial mango farmers like it for juice production. Moreso,overseas exporters like it because it has a better market in the USA and Britain because of its long shelf life.

MANGO CULTIVATION GUIDE/STEPS.

1. LAND PREPARATION : Mangoes can be grown successfully under a wide range of soil and climatic conditions. Sandy loam soil is however ideal for rapid growth. Mango has been found to grow abundantly in moderately heavy clay soil, though its initial establishment seem a bit difficult but once it picks is done. The soil must be deep to allow easy penetration of the taproot.The land for use should be cleared and burned.

2. PROPAGATION : Mangos can be grown from seeds.Although trees raise by this method often produce fruit with stringy pulp and a mild taste of turpentine. If you are growing from seed ,you should dig holes up to 60cm in diameter and 60cm deep.Spacing should be much because of the size of the tree.It should be up to 9 to 12 meters between planting holes.The holes should be filled with top soil and manure. Seeds or seedlings are to be planted at the beginning of the rains.Seedlings can also be bought and transplanted into the field or farm when seedlings are from 3 to 6 months old.
3.PRUNING : Pruning of mango is necessary for quick growth and high Yeild.It also helps for better aeration, easier farm operations and increased tree productivity .When the tree are 90cm high ,the leading shoot should be cut.This will encourage the production of side branches. After the trees have come into production prune to low hanging or dead branches and to open up the tree.

4. WATERING : Watering is most needed in the dry season especially for young trees.

5.FERTILIZER APPLICATION : Ring application of NPK(Inorganic) fertilizer is most recommended at a distance of 2m from the trunk. However the application of organic fertilizer to tree is most recommended because it provide more balanced nutrition, adding organic matter to the soil and reducing the risk of tree damage . Organic matter and compost in particular releases nutrients slowly over an extended period of time and improves soil moisture retention capacity .Organic materials to fertilize the trees is commendable and needs to be encouraged especially in the face of rising costs and limited availability of inorganic fertilizers as well as mounting environmental concerns.

6.HARVEST : Your mango tree will start bearing when they are 3 years old for the grafted ones and 8 yrs for the normal ones.A twenty year old mango tree can produce between 200 to 600 fruit each year.The older they are the higher they will keep producing. Fertilization is by cross pollination but only 0.1% will bear fruit.The fruit will mature within two to four months of fertilization. Ripe mangoes are yellow ,however if large quantities are to be harvested the fruits will have to be cut off before they are ripe and store on shelves in well ventilated,cool store house.Commercial growers harvest by hand but small scale farmers allow the fruits to fall to the ground when they are ripe. Ripe mangoes do not store well but they can be stored or kept at low temperatures for about a week.Mango trees will keep producing fruits for about 40 years.

7.PEST /DISEASES : Pests are not a serious problem at present in mangos. However incidence of some pests may occur .Coccus spp. which attacks the fruits and the leaves. Control by applying Rogor 40 EC at 15 mls per 10 liters of water.

INTRODUCING THE NEW HYBRID OIL PALM WITH HIGHER PRODUCTIVITY THAN TENERA VARIETY.

TYPE :
Oil Palm Seeds .

VARIETY.
SuperGene

SOURCE : Malaysia and Indonesia.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION :


SuperGene Most Productive Oil Palm Hybrid

Earlier harvest (22 to 24 months) compared 36 to 48 months for SIRIM standard seedling … first year harvest 7 to 8 tonnes FFB per hectare.



•Significant higher yields … for each and every year throughout the 25 year lifespan.



•Lifespan Average FFB yield of 44 tons.



•Higher Oil to Bunch Ratio – 25% equivalent to 11.02 tonnes of CPO per ha/yr … 3 times higher than Malaysian National Average of 18.9 tonnes FFB producing 3.78 tonnes CPO per ha/yr at 20% OER.



•SuperGene 2 times higher than SIRIM’s hybrid … 27.4 tonnes of FFB equivalent to 5.5 tonnes of CPO per ha/yr based on 20% OER • •Dwarf Palm - annual growth rate of 25 to 35 cm compared to 60 cm extends the economic cropping cycle beyond the normal 25-year lifecycle.



•Shorter Tree … Easy to reach speeds up harvesting … Harvesting cost is reduced.



•Tree diameter and circumference is bigger … supports more branches & more fruits … reduces gravity effect allowing easy transfer of nutrients from soil to fruit … allows the tree to thrive better in dry season … wider gap between leaves stem results in an increase in photosynthesis for more robust growth.

Disease Resistant :Resistance to genoderma or basal stem rot virus which remains in the soil for decades.



•Higher Oil-to-Bunch Ratio … more than 25% … bigger seed, thinner shell and smaller kernel



•More Female Flowers … ratio is 2 times higher than the normal species.



•Longer Tree Lifecycle : 30 years for fruit bearing as well as income generating period is longer.It can do without fertilizer application also.
