Mango in Syntropic Agroforestry Systems

Master mango planting and management through the lens of Syntropy. Learn practical stratification, identifying mango as a high stratum plant and the importance of correct shading (max 20%) to prevent fruit burn. Discover how to plan ideal spacing, the strategic use of "mother trees" (such as ice-cream beans and eucalyptus) for biomass production, and the crucial differences between planting from seeds (rootstock) versus grafted seedlings for a productive and sustainable harvest.

What you will learn

  • Master mango stratification for high-yield systems.
  • Understand the 20% shading rule to prevent fruit burn.
  • Learn the ideal spacing for mango and "mother trees".
  • Identify the best service trees for biomass production.
  • Differentiate between seeds and grafted mango seedlings.
  • Design productive food forest islands with mangoes.
  • Manage natural succession to ensure long-term yields.
  • Apply strategic pruning to control canopy and light.
  • Balance your primary crop with essential support trees.
  • Use "mother trees" like Inga to feed your mango orchard.
