Alex Salazar: mango drops & disease pressure.

Alex Salazar of tropical acres farm discusses the mango fruit drop that typically occurs after the flowering period and initial fruit set and the disease pressure that is experienced in certain growing areas in Florida.

Alex. I agree with the watering on the initial stage. I tried it this year and my fruit drop was very minimal. I used this method on my Rosigold and as of today it’s around 4 inches in diameter.

I agree too with the watering....it reduces alot of the fruit drop....i start to water when most of the flower panicles are open
