It grows well in soils with slightly acidic pH. It does not perform well in soils having pH beyond 7.5. Soils having good drainage are ideal for mango. FLOWERING SEASON Climatic conditions have significant influence on the time of flowering in mango. In India flowering starts from December in the South, January in Bihar and Bengal, and February in eastern Uttar Pradesh, and in February-March in northern India.The duration of flowering is 20- 25 days in Dashehari, while panicle emergence occurs in early December and flower opening is completed by February. REGION More than 1,000 varieties exist today. It is grown in almost all the states. Mango is a tropical fruit, but it can be grown up to 1,100m above mean sea level. The temperature between 24 and 27`C is ideal for its cultivation. Thus it can be grown best in regions with a rainfall between 25 cm and 250cm. Regions having bright sunny days and moderate humidity during flowering are ideal for mango growing.
