Mango nursery production under polybags is highly depend on application of various fertilizers for developing healthy and vigorous nursery plants. Mango nursery was grown in polybags placed undera nursery tunnel. The fertilizer (N:P:K 20:20:20) were applied as control or no application, 5g, 10g, 15g and 20g into the polybags after 30 days of seedling transplanting into poly pots followed by irrigation of 500ml water into the pots. The data was recorded after 30, 60 and 90 days intervals in terms of plant height, root length, number of leaves per plant, and number of vegetative flushes per plant after applying nutrition to the plants. The results revealed that the maximum plant height of 67.21cm was observed when pots were fertilized @ 10g per pot followed by irrigation of 500ml water. In comparison,the root length was 22cm, number of leaves per plant was 31.33, and the number of vegetative flushes 8 per plantwasobserved when mango nursery pots were fertilized with 10g per pot.
Mango, scientifically known as Mangifera indica L., is highly popular in Pakistan and around the globe and is known for its abundant provitamins and other phytochemical elements. Being a climacteric fruit, mangoes ripen quickly after being harvested. Commercial growers typically harvest mangoes when they reach their horticultural maturity to maintain the fruit's quality. Temperature is a crucial environmental factor affecting mangoes' quality, as these tropical fruits do not respond well to storage at low temperatures. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the impact of different storage conditions on the physiological and biochemical qualities of the shelf life of cv. Sufaid Chaunsa mangoes. During the study, the mangoes were stored in cold storage facilities at 8°C, 12°C, and 16°C. The storage containers consisted of plastic baskets covered with paper, and the mangoes were assessed for weight loss, texture properties, chilling injury, titratable acidity, sensory characteristics, total soluble salts, and external appearance every 7 days throughout the storage period till 28 days. The results indicated that storing mangoes at 12°C extended their shelf life by up to 21 days, shows better results. Utilizing the storing conditions set at 12°C effectively reduced suitable water loss, maintained chemical changes and other sensory characteristics. Additionally, storing the mangoes at 12°C was sufficient to prolong their storage life until 21 days. It was observed that the quality of mangoes deteriorated after being stored for 21 days at 16°C.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
