Department of Agriculture Bombay Bulletin No. 103 of 1920. The Book of the Mango

1921

The mango flower possesses one pollen bearing stamen and the structure of the former is such that this as well as the stigma which must receive the pollen are exposed to the weather and the slightest dampness in the air above the degree of humidity washer away the pollen and prevents fertilization. [...] In the Bombay Presidency it can be said that the hot climate of the tropical sea-shore with just the right amount of moisture from the proximity of the ocean is well adapted to the mango. [...] The pots must be lifted once in two months to prevent the tap root entering the soil through the hole in the base of the pot and anchoring the plant there. [...] The roots with the earth intact are then wrapped up in a little grass and the young seedling plants tied to the tender branch of the tree required to be enarched from care being taken that the young seedling trees and the branch to be grafted should be pointing in the same direction and be of the same age i.e. [...] The position of the scion on the stock and the age of the stock do influence the vigour of the vegetative growth of the scion and the age at which it flowers.
