Five years of observation shows that chokanan
mango bears fruits continuously, prolific and
heavy fruiting even during rainy season. It has
been observed that the hot temperature during
summer months of May and June induce profuse
flowering of chokanan mango, with the fruits
maturing in August and September. There is no need
to induce flowering by spraying potassium
nitrate.
Chokanan mango is also a fast grower and bears fruit
much earlier than carabao mango. It can be planted
in big containers that will serve as decorative
plants in rooftops or in urban areas with no soil.
It will flower after 18 months from planting the
double rootstock grafted seedlings. |
|
The chokanan mango can tolerate adverse weather
conditions that even without spraying insecticide
and fungicide the flowers will develop into quality
eating green and sweet fruits that taste like honey.
It has thick skin so the fruit shelf life is longer
than carabao mango and resistant to attack of fruit
fly. |
