Soil for Mango Tree Cultivation Mangoes grow well in all types of soils. However, the primary soil requirement is that they must be well-drained and deep. Red, loamy soil is the most ideal for mango cultivation. However, in India, they can grow in alluvial, clayey or laterite soil. The soil must have rich organic content and must have a good water retaining capacity. Soils that do not have good draining facility are not ideal for mango plantation. They grow on plains rather than hills. Cultivation in hilly areas can lead to very low yields as the drainage and climatic conditions are not best suited for mango cultivation. Soils with good amount of iron peroxide and 5-10% lime are ideal for producing the best quality mango fruits. Fruits produced in such soil conditions have a bright red tinge. https://discussions.ubisoft.com/user/fitnessmount?lang=en-US https://hindibookmark.com/story13246928/stay-fit-with-us https://bookmarkshq.com/story13289809/stay-fit-with-us https://nybookmark.co...
