Mango (Grafted) - Suvarnarekha Variety

About Mango (Grafted) - Suvarnarekha Variety

Suvarnarekha is a commercial mango variety from the Visakhapatnam district of Andhra Pradesh, also known as Sundari or Lal Sundari. The fruit is light cadmium-yellow with a blush of jasper red, has a medium-thick skin that peels easily, and a sweet, juicy flavour. It's an early-season variety, ready April to May.

Growing Conditions

• Sunlight: More than 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
• Soil: Well-drained soil, ideal pH 6.5-8; grows in all soil types but does best when well drained.
• Climate: Tropical to subtropical; ideal temperature 26-35°C.

Planting & Spacing

In a pot, use a minimum size of 25x25 inches (length and width). Best planting time is June-July in low-rainfall areas and October-November in high-rainfall areas. Fertilizer should be applied 45-90 cm away from the trunk, about 2 months before flowering.

Care

• Watering: Water when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry, keeping consistent moisture near the roots during flowering. Stop watering 30 days before harvest to improve sweetness.
• Fertilizer: Young trees need more nitrogen; bearing trees do better with higher phosphorus and potassium (compost, rock phosphate, bone meal or seaweed are good organic sources). Apply 2-3 times a year before flowering.
• Pruning: Alternate bearing (a year on, a year off) can be a concern in mango — this is generally managed at a commercial level, not something home growers need to worry about.

Fruiting & Harvest

Flowering starts around November in South India and February-March in North India, taking 100-150 days from flower to fruit. Edible fruiting typically begins 1.5-2 years after planting, with fruit available March to mid-August.
