Saffron mango is losing productivity in Saurashtra, the main cause of fungi

Ahmedabad, 7 February, 2020

Saffron mango production is declining as the hunger pangs occur every year in Saurashtra. The epidemic has been happening for the past 10 years. Farmers are increasing planting. But the production per hectare of saffron mango is declining. Gujarat has a mango trade of Rs 2,000 crore a year. 40 per cent of which belongs to Saurashtra. Thus, where Rs 800 crore worth of saffron is being harvested, disaster is now visible.

Due to frequent fungal invasions in Saurashtra, 4% productivity has dropped in 10 years. Against this, the mango productivity of South Gujarat has increased by about 20%. Thus, saffron mango mango has been producing 25 per cent less maize in Saurashtra than in Gujarat for 10 years. Saffron Carey is now making damages. The report has been made clear by the experts of Junagadh Agricultural University. Agricultural scientists have made some recommendations to prevent fungal invasion. But the fungus invades due to the mist.

“Gir saffron mango” and “sesame wheat” are unique GI identities in the country, but even if the productivity of saffron mangoes is decreasing this way, there is a danger.
Productivity is declining in Saurashtra.

The fungus blooms on the mango due to the fungus and therefore has the opposite effect on productivity.

Between 2004-05 and 2011-12, mango cultivation in Saurashtra increased by 7.73% to 48 thousand hectares from 44 thousand hectares. Production of mangoes increased by 7.28% to 3.35 lakh tonnes from 3.12 lakh tonnes. Production is declining against growing acreage. Productivity per hectare was 7062 ha in Saurashtra which has dropped to 6793 hectares. Thus, productivity has decreased by 3.81%.

Cultivation and productivity in Gujarat state increased, Saurashtra declined

Against Saurashtra, mango orchards have increased by 3.77 per cent to 1.45 lakh hectares against 1.40 lakh hectares across Gujarat. Mango production increased by 14.10 per cent to 11.11 lakh tonnes from 9.74 lakh tonnes. 6986 kg per hectare increased by 9.72 per cent to 7665 kg.

Saurashtra is no longer conducive to mangoes

Thus mango gardens in Saurashtra are now losing production. Against this the mango gardens of southern Gujarat have become profitable. Frequent epidemics and hurricanes as well as changes in natural weather are the causes.

Mango husk:
In December – January, when mango flowers come in mango, fungal disease is seen. A white knife is found on the peacock stalk. In addition to bloom, the disease develops on the back side of the newly grown leaf. The main feature of the bark is to look like white husk covering on the bloom and small dying (mango). Small fruits and blooms come true. Many mammals in Ambavadia appear to know that there is Vanzia.

Moisture, blue weather, early morning dew are responsible for the spread of the disease.

Fertilizer and peas
When mango peas are grown after mango maize, give 2 kg of organic manure per adult mango tree for growth, giving it to the vein one meter away from the trunk. The first peas to be given is when the mango peas are sized. Therefore, at this time, fertilizer should be given first.
To prevent the excretion of mangoes

Mango mangoes are consumed in large quantities. When mango peas are done to prevent fruit rot, add 300 ml of water in 10 liters of water. To 350 ml For agro-agar 2030 mangoes, the mixture has to be sprayed twice in 25-40 days.

At the time of mango bloom, there is an infestation of diseases such as bees, sting and peacock-eating eels, flowers-eating eagles and bloated flies, and starvation.
