Although the fruit is not yet fully matured, early indicators suggest that the region could witness a strong yield in the coming weeks. Scientific Research Officer Abid Hameed shared the overall condition of the mango crop was satisfactory.
“Fruiting looks good this season, and if weather conditions remain stable, we can expect a better yield compared to previous years,” he noted.
He mentioned while hopper attacks had been reported in some areas, they were under control and manageable with timely action.
Hameed advised farmers to strictly follow the recommended guidelines to protect the crop and improve quality. “Applying potassium at this stage is crucial. It enhances fruit size, strengthens quality, and supports overall production,” he explained.
