Results of MDP were remarkable and the orchard could start commercial production in the fourth year itself and later on yields were better than those from the conventional besides several other advantages. During year the 2005 JISL expanded its mango plantation in Ellaymuthur village of Udumalpet (taluka), district Coimbatore and replicated the same planting method. We could realize commercial yield from fourth year onwards and high yields are not enough to recover investments on land development and orchard establishment thus we were in search of better technology which can give higher yield. Though UHDP has shown success in mango at experimental levels but commercial plantations are not available in the country. During 2006 three scientists from JISL participated in a conference on Mango in South Africa and visited UHD plantations of Tommy Atkins variety of mango on large scale at a farmer cum scientist’s field. It gave us confidence that Indian varieties also could be grown successfully under this planting system. Subsequently JISL decided to have a semi commercial scale trial in Ellaymuthur farm and planted 4.5 acres of UHDP of cv. Alphonso and
