This Season: Increased mango production likely
He hoped that production would increase by nearly 40-50% in the new season compared to last year’s produce
MULTAN:
An above average produce of mango is expected in the current year’s season due to sustainable climatic conditions, lower levels of fog, lesser rains and growers’ understanding of managing orchards throughout the year, said In charge of Mango Research Station Abdul Ghaffar Garewal. “Last year, the production of Chaunsa variety was affected due to anthracnose disease, which had attacked the orchards at the flowering stage,” he said, adding this time there was no chance of such an attack and plenty of flowering was witnessed. He hoped that production would increase by nearly 40-50% in the new season compared to last year’s produce.
