The yield in the popular ‘imampasanth' this season at theThathachariar Gardens in Srirangam has been far less, particularlydue to hot weather condition in the night in December last year.The gardens is noted for highly delicious and mouth wateringvariety of ‘imampasanth', in the wake of the specialcultivation techniques adopted in the fields. It has been attracting a large number of customers because ofspecific organic manure in the form of cow dung, the soilcondition, and the environmental condition favouring the growth ofthe fruit. "Mango yield follows a specific pattern. Every bumper harvestseason is followed by a low yield or vice versa; last season, theyield was good, making fall inevitable this year. But the extent offall is quite unusual," says S. Rangarajan, who has analysedvarious factors for the current phenomenon in the yield at thegardens this season. Mr. Rangarajan says the weather condition during the nightespecially during the flowering season was not quite favourable forthe mango this season, especially during late December and allthrough January when flowering is visible to naked eye. "Anight temperature of less than 20 degree centigrade favours theflowering; but this season, it ranged quite above this mercury markand even touched 24 or 25 degree," he says, explaining one ofthe major changes witnessed this season. The rise in night temperature has, in turn, resulted in theabundant growth of male flowers – an unfavourable indicationfor the crop. Mango registers better yield in the presence oflarger female flowers; but, it was quite the other way lastDecember. Male flowers outnumbered female ones, due to the rise innight temperature. Against the normal yield of 300 ‘imampasanth' fruits a tree,the yield is not that good this season. "There has been agrowing demand for the fruits among customers and we have beenadopting a fair proportion formula to satisfy all of them,"he says. Cultivation technique is the characteristic feature at thisgardens, ensuring a balanced supply of nutrients. "For every tree, we apply 100 kg of cow dung, four kg ofsuperphosphate, and two kg each of potash and urea. The combinationalong with the soil and environment add to the delicious nature ofthe fruits," Mr. Rangarajan says. It is round-the-year cultivation practice which keeps the‘imampasanth' from the gardens dear to customers from severalparts for decades together. Shortly after the harvest comes to anend, emphasis is on pruning of trees. The tree is exposed tosunlight and the spacing between two trees is ensured throughpruning for preserving the quality of fruits for the successiveseason. Mr. Rangarajan says that apart from ‘imampasanth', a fewother mango varieties has registered less yield. The‘banganapalli' variety at the gardens was also below normal.Against per tree yield of 800 fruits, the yield is far less.
