  • Model Profile for 1.0 Ha Mango Cultivation
    Model Profile for 1.0 ha Mango Cultivation 1. Introduction Mango (Mangifera indica) is the leading fruit crop of India and considered to be the king of fruits. Besides delicious taste, excellent flavour and attractive fragrance, it is rich in vitamin A&C. The tree is hardy in nature, can be grown in a variety of soil and requires comparatively low maintenance costs. Mango fruit is utilised at all stages of its development both in its immature and mature state. Raw fruits are used for making chutney, pickles and juices. The ripe fruits besides being used for desert are also utilised for preparing several products like squashes, syrups, nectars, jams and jellies. The mango kernel also contains 8-10 percent good quality fat which can be used for soap and also as a substitute for cocoa butter in confectionery. 2. Scope for Mango Cultivation and its National Importance Mango occupies about 36% of the total area under fruits (2010-11) comprising of 22.97 lakh hectares, with a total production of 151.88 lakh tonnes. Uttar Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh are having the largest area under mango each with around 23% of the total area followed by Karnataka, Bihar, Gujarat and Tamilnadu. Fresh mangoes and mango pulp are the important items of agri-exports from India. India's main export destinations for mango are UAE, Bangladesh, UK, Saudi Arabia, Nepal, Kuwait, USA and other Middle East countries with a limited quantity being shipped to European market. Although, India is the largest mango producing country, accounting about 45% of world production, the export of fresh fruit is limited to Alphonso and Dashehari varieties.

  • Greater Bangladesh
    Annexure 3 Plan to Create Greater Bangla Desh including Assam in it Greater Bangladesh From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Greater Bangladesh (translated variously as Bengali : , Brihat Bangladesh ;[1] Bengali : Brihad Bangladesh ;[2] Bengali : , Maha Bangladesh ;[3] and Bengali : , Bishal Bangla [4] ) is a political theory circulated by a number of Indian politicians and writers that People's Republic of Bangladesh is trying for the territorial expansion to include the Indian states of West Bengal , Assam and others in northeastern India. [5] The theory is principally based on fact that a large number of Bangladeshi illegal immigrants reside in Indian territory. [6] Contents [hide ] 1 History o 1.1 United Bengal o 1.2 Militant organizations 2 Illegal immigration o 2.1 Lebensraum theory o 2.2 Nellie massacre o 2.3 The Sinha Report 3 References [edit ]History The ethno-linguistic region of Bengal encompasses the territory of Bangladesh and the Indian state of West Bengal , as well as parts of Assam and Tripura . During the rule of the Hindu Sena dynasty in Bengal the notion of a Greater Bangladesh first emerged with the idea of uniting Bengali-speaking people in the areas now known as Orissa , Bihar and Indian North East (Assam, Tripura, and Meghalaya ) along with the Bengal .[7] These areas formed the Bengal Presidency , a province of British India formed in 1765, though Assam including Meghalaya and Sylhet District was severed from the Presidency in 1874, which became the Province of Assam together with Lushai Hills in 1912. This province was partitioned in 1947 into Hindu -majority West Bengal and Muslim - majority East Bengal (now Bangladesh) to facilitate the creation of the separate Muslim state of Pakistan , of which East Bengal became a province.

Cultivars for Flowering, Fruiting and Yield Attributes T. S. Hada*and A. K. Singh Dept. of Horticulture, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh (221 005), India Corresponding Author Article History T. S. Hada Article ID: AR1811a e-mail: [email protected] Received in 3rd May, 2017 Received in revised form 29th June, 2017 Accepted in final form 4th August, 2017 Abstract A field experiment was conducted to investigate the flowering, fruiting and yield attributes of some mango cultivars for the years 2014−15 and 2015−16. Outcome of the present research work revealed that the date of panicle emergence in different mango cultivars varied in both the years. It was observed that the panicle emergence was earliest in Gulabkhas and late in Fazli in both the years. Chausa produced maximum panicle length (35.19 cm) and breadth (24.76 cm). In the year 2014−15, earliest flowering was noted in Gulabkhas (Feb 17−Feb 26) and in the year 2015−16, earliest flowering was observed in Bombai (Feb 20−Feb 28) while, flowering was very late in Sepiya for both the years. Maximum number of flowers was observed in Langra (1839.13) while, minimum number of flowers was recorded in Amrapali (954.75). The duration of flowering varied from 22.50−36.00 days in different mango cultivars. Maximum value in terms of days was observed with Sepiya (39 days) while it was minimum (22.50 days) in case of Alphonso.

Banik and M.A. Hasan Department of Fruits and Orchard Management, Faculty of Horticulture, B.C.K.V., Mohanpur , Nadia – 741252, West Bengal, India Email: [email protected] Paper no: 93 Received: 23rd September 2012 Received in revised form: 19th November 2012 Accepted: 19th January 2013 Abstract Field experiments were conducted during the period 2010-2012 to investigate the suitability and profitably with different intercrops of cowpea, frenchbean, arhar, soyabean, lentil, blackgram and chickpea in mango orchard (cv. Himsagar) was conducted at Central Research Farm, Gayeshpur, B.C.K.V., Nadia, West Bengal. The age of the plant is 7 years old with a spacing of 10x10m which provide the utilization of land space between the plants as an intercrop. Pooled data reveals that the maximum number of fruits 192.41 / tree and yield 46.09 kg / tree were found in Mango + Cowpea whereas maximum fruit weight (254.16 g) in Mango + Lentil. Most of the physical parameters such as fruit length and breadth maximum were recorded (8.20 cm and 7.21 cm respectively) in Mango + Cowpea. But, in case of peel weight (35.67 g) was highest in Mango + Soyabean whereas the higher stone weight (35.79 g) was in sole crop (Mango) only. Again, pulp weight and pulp: stone ratio (193.53 www.IndianJournals.com g and 5.80) were observed in Mango + Frenchbean respectively.

  • 11. MANGO PRODUCTION and EMPLOYMENT of PEOPLE in Tffls TRADE
    11. MANGO PRODUCTION AND EMPLOYMENT OF PEOPLE IN TfflS TRADE 11.1. Introduction Mango is one of the most popular crops in the tropics, adapted to a wide range of soil and relatively easy to cultivate. It is universally considered as one of finest fruit in the world, and is called the "King of Fruits" in the orient and the "national fruit of India". If there was a competition to decide the best fruit in the world for taste and aroma, the Indian mango would certainly be one of the front- runners. In a year, India harvests more than 12 million tones of mangoes. Mango is not only delicious but also full of nutritional value. It is h i^ in beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A and is a rich source of vitamin B complex. Physico­ chemical characteristics of mango was studied by Ghosh, Dhua and Mitra (1985); Kundu and Ghosh (1992). Mangoes are mainly consumed fresh. One hundred grams of raw mango (edible portion) contains 81.7 gm water, 0.7 gm protein, 0.4 gm fat, 16 gm carbohydrates, and food energy of 66 calories. Mangoes are also relativel)' rich in other elements such as calcium, phosphorous, iron, potassium and magnesium. Mango is not just India's most important fruit, India is also the World's largest producer of this famous fruit accounting for approximately 52% of the total W orld production. I'he World production of mango is estimated to be around 23,851,997 MT and India produces 12,000,000 MT. Mango, Mangifera indica is endemic to South-East Asia.
