Effect of cutting and picking flowers on secondary flowering,yield and quality of mango
In order to reduce the adverse effects of bad weather on mango flowering and fruit setting,use of techniques of cutting flowers,picking flowers and their combination to regulate the flowering period of mango were studied to find their impact on secondary flowering,yield and quality of mango.Three treatments were set for this experiment including cutting flowers(T1),picking flowers(T2),and a combination of cutting and picking flowers(T3)and retaining the original inflorescence as control(CK).The results showed that com-pared to the control treatment,all the three treatments could induce secondary florescence from mango,delay the flowering and increase yield.T3 treatment formed three batches of inflorescence in different periods of time,and the rate of secondary flowering was the highest,reaching 59.99%-65.85%,with an average of 62.87%for three years,which was significantly higher than that of other treatments,The yield per plant of T3 treatment was 46.21-48.44 kg and average 47.53 kg for three years,significantly higher than that of other treatments,and there was no significant difference on fruit quality between all the treatments.Therefore,the combination of cutting and picking flowers could effectively cope with the adverse effects of bad weather during mango flowering and fruit setting and obtain stable yield and good quality of mango.
