MULTAN, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 15th Apr, 2018 ) ::Director Mango Research Station (MRS) Abdul Ghaffor Garewal urged the farmers to cultivate water-loving varieties of mangoes near rivers and canals for enhancing yield.
Talking to APP, the MRS Director said that Pakistani mangoes had good potential for exports due to its exotic taste. Similarly, the growers are taking too much interest in cultivation of new orchards in the region, he said.
He stated that white and seasonal Chaunsa varieties were very much popular and were being liked at international level. These are water loving varieties, he said and added that growers as well as country used to earn handsome return from the export of the varieties.
He, however suggested that less water was required for some other varieties. These varieties includes Azeem Chaunsa and late Sindhari. He also suggested growers to adopt drip irrigation for their orchards to address issue of water shortage.
He observed that a good number of growers did not know about water consumption varieties. He advised them to contact mango experts for seeking any guidance related to management of mango orchards. APP/atf/zhr
