Abstract
Poor yields of mango orchards in the initial years can be attributed to wide tree spacing and the subsequent time lag in filling the allocated tree space.
Higher density plantings and the associated tree manipulations for speedily attaining a complex tree with high orchard productivity is presently the order of the day.
The purpose of this study is to test different training systems that can possibly be more beneficial when the more intensive orchards reach the overshadowing stage.
Open vase, palmette, central leader, closed vase and a standard pruning system were compared with unpruned controls.
In this paper the principles of the different systems are discussed.
Results are presented to indicate how these systems affect tree volumes and influence tree spacing.
The effect on the yield of six-year-old trees after the second year of training is presented.
