Mango
Mango needs basal manuring after harvest and targeted boron at flowering. Urvar's program times a foliar boost to panicle emergence for stronger fruit-set and quality.
Season schedule
What to apply, and when
Stage timing comes from agricultural-university research (cited). Doses are Urvar's own label doses, shown per katha with bigha and acre equivalents.
1 bigha = 20 katha (West Bengal) · 1 acre ≈ 60.5 katha

September–October2
Post-harvest & basal manuring
Farm yard manure, plus the full phosphorus and potassium dose, are worked into the soil 45–90 cm from the trunk in September–October.
Cow Dung Manure (FYM)
Apply around root zone, mix with soil
65–80 kg per katha
1.3–1.6 t per bigha · ≈ 3.9–4.8 t per acre

About 50% panicle emergence1
Panicle initiation & flowering
In BCKV trials on Himsagar mango, a foliar spray of boric acid with sorbitol at about 50% panicle emergence gave the best fruit-set, yield and fruit quality; calcium nitrate with boric acid gave the longest shelf life.
PROM – Humic Based Flowering Booster
Apply 10–15 days before flowering (label timing for flowering crops)

Deficiency guide
Spot it, fix it
General symptoms that apply across crops. Confirm with a soil or leaf test before treating.3
Upper leaves show interveinal chlorosis, eventually whitening. Leaves may be small and distorted, in a rosette form.
Growing points develop abnormally; the tips become stunted and die, and flowers and fruits may abort.
Mango FAQ
Common questions
How do I convert a per-katha dose to bigha or acre?
Multiply by 20 for a West Bengal bigha (1 bigha = 20 katha), or by about 60.5 for an acre. Every dose on this page already shows all three.
Which Urvar products does the Mango program use?
Post-harvest & basal manuring: Cow Dung Manure (FYM), PROM – Phosphate Rich Organic Manure. Panicle initiation & flowering: PROM – Humic Based Flowering Booster, Boron EDTA.
