Kumar* Vice Chancellor, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore (India) 641003 Correspondence: kumarhort@yahoo.com Received Date: 10/05/2018; Accepted Date: 20/12/2018 Abstract High density planting (HDP) (5 x 5 m ) or ultra-high density planting (UHDP) system (3 x 2 m) aims to The yield of the mango fruit varies due to several factors viz. age of the tree, variety grown, climatic conditions, soil type, type of tree ... Cultivation of Mango in Ultra High Density Mango Plantation. Address: Erandoli Village, Taluka Miraj, District Sangli. The ultra high density plantation (UHDP) method has been in use for around a decade. High Density Plantation of Apple. Ultra-high density plantation (UHDP) is a new age technology that is increasingly being used for mango plantation across the globe. The yearly yield helps in getting good prices for the fruits as the demand for mangoes will be generally high during the early season owing to fewer arrivals in the market,” Dr. Chowdappa said. UHDP, in synergy with other sustainable agricultural techniques, can yield up to 200% more crop than the traditional method of cultivation. Fruits should be harvested by using bamboo hand tool called mango picker. Phalsa Cultivation. Planting densities over 300 trees per acre is considered ultra high density. The yield is additionally approach higher in ultra high-density plantations because of tight spacing of hybrid mango trees as compared to ancient plantations. Maharashtra, Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Orissa, Karnataka, Assam, and Andhra Pradesh are the major Mango … Taking them around the farm, JFFFL sources explained the salient features of the Ultra High Density Plantation method in mango and tissue culture for banana and pomegranate. JAIN Ultra High Density Mango Farmer: Shri Prataprao Savant. In ancient plantations, the all-India average yield of mangoes is a pair of 2.5-3 tonnes per acre annually. Intensification of tropical tree crops is a new and expanding area of research in Australia and overseas. A total of 10 acres was planted using this innovative cultivation technique promoted by Jain irrigation.

Where it was first developed is hard to pinpoint, but India, Australia, Israel, South Africa, and China are a few of the countries that utilize this method for mango production. Taking them around the farm, JFFFL sources explained the salient features of the Ultra High Density Plantation method in mango and tissue culture for banana and pomegranate.
