Procedures in Mango Seedling Steps (10) | Hazards (10) | Safety Measures (10) | Choosing a healthy nursery tree (size of 2-4ft.) | Avoid large trees grown in small containers for the root system might be “root-bounded”/rounded (it may not grow properly once planted on ground) | Inspect the trees for insects and diseases and inspect its trunks for wounds and constrictions. Water the selected tree regularly in preparation for planting on the ground | Choosing the site for planting | Avoid landscapes near other trees, buildings, structures and power lines (for the tree may grow so large) | Consider sites with full light and free air movement to avoid diseases | Considering the soil and climate | Avoid heavy, wet soil for a pH of 5.5 to 7.5 is preferred; avoid planting on temp below 60 or above 100 deg F for it can cause abortion, loss of pollen viability and occasionally seedless fruit development; strong winds should also be avoided | Provide deep soil to accommodate their extensive root systems; Dry weather is best for the plant | Considering some factors such as planting time, planting distance, size of pits and filling of pits before planting the tree | Avoid planting in times where there is extreme heat for the plant may wither due to excessive water loss | Consider the planting distances between the trees depending on the variety and fertility of soil and the general growth conditions in the area; remove stones on the pits; manure and soil proportion should be 1:3 | Planting the tree on the ground | The planting should not be done so high as to expose the roots | Use planting board to excavate as much soil needed for the root ball | Training and pruning of the tree | Do not tolerate growing of fruits for the first years of growth and fruiting to speed up tree development (remove the fruits); avoid burning pruning or litter | Main branches should be spaced to avoid breakages due to small crotch
