Productivity enhancement measure (PEMs) on "carabao" mango in Central Luzon
Issue Date
10-2013
Abstract
Unproductive mango trees in Central Luzon are being rehabilitated through the development of location-specific production enhancement measures (PEMs) on six mango growing provinces in the region, namely: Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Tarlac, and Zambales. The two component studies are: (1) Rehabilitation of Non-Productive "Carabao" mango Trees and (2) Assessment and Promotion of IPM package for the control of mango twig borers, Callimetopuscapito (Pascoe). Assessment of productivity enhancement measures programmed for each province over the existing practices are being conducted for both studies. High density planning with close canopies, poor nutrition, "kurikong" and mango twig borer infestations are the major concerns contributing to the unproductivity of "Carabao" mango trees in Region III. Site specific cultural practices such as bagging, pruning, flower induction technologies and nutrient management; IPM strategies and other S&T based interventions were yield goal for 20 years old mango trees in Central Luzon.
