Tài liệu mô hình nông nghiệp Kỹ thuật trồng, chăm sóc cây xoài và bảo quản sản phẩm sau thu hoạch

Mango (xoài) is a globally significant tropical fruit, with Asia accounting for a large portion of its production. In Vietnam, mango cultivation holds substantial economic importance, particularly in the Southern provinces. However, optimizing yield, fruit quality, and extending shelf life post-harvest remain persistent challenges for sustainable agricultural development. This document compiles essential knowledge and research findings on mango cultivation, care, and preservation techniques. It aims to provide practical guidance and insights into best practices, addressing critical aspects from soil requirements and irrigation to pest management and post-harvest handling, thereby enhancing productivity and market competitiveness for mango producers.

This comprehensive document, developed by the Center for Research & Development of Sustainable Agriculture, presents detailed techniques for mango cultivation, care, and post-harvest preservation. It begins by outlining the scope of application, specifically targeting mango trees in areas with similar natural conditions to Ho Chi Minh City, and delving into the botanical characteristics and environmental requirements for optimal growth, including temperature, rainfall, soil conditions, and irrigation needs. The document provides a global and national overview of mango production, highlighting Vietnam's position as a key producer in ASEAN and identifying prominent local varieties. A significant portion is dedicated to technical research, covering advancements in mango propagation methods like grafting and rootstock management, and innovative techniques for flowering induction, including the use of chemical agents to promote off-season fruiting and extend the harvest period. It also details effective fertilization strategies, emphasizing the role of NPK, micronutrients, and calcium for fruit quality and shelf life. Pest and disease control is thoroughly discussed, acknowledging the challenges posed by various pests and the prevalence of chemical pesticide use while exploring integrated pest management (IPM) components and less toxic alternatives like protein baits for fruit flies. Furthermore, the document elaborates on efficient irrigation systems, such as drip irrigation, and crucial post-harvest technologies, including methods for determining optimal harvest maturity, proper handling, grading, and chemical treatments (e.g., CaCl2 or Ca(NO3)2 immersion) coupled with controlled temperature storage (11-11.5°C) to extend shelf life for over 30 days, crucial for distant transportation and export. This systematic approach aims to improve overall mango production efficiency, reduce losses, and enhance market value, contributing to sustainable agricultural practices.
