Do you agree with the percentage the mango flowering marked in the map ?
@Rechel CUBE @biswayini @Seethalakhmi and others .Please click the photos of the mango tree arounds you to see the pattern of mango tree flowering across the country @~Batul Pipewala @Himanshu Joshi @~subhasree vinodhkumar and others

[10/11, 8:42 am] Prithviraj CUBE: I do not agree with 70% flowering at Thiruvananthapuram during November 2024
[10/11, 8:46 am] Arunan sir : So, what is your data or at least experience , regarding Mango flowering percentage in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala in November? 
@Prithviraj CUBE
[10/11, 9:46 am] Prithviraj CUBE: During November end it can reach between 30 to 40% is my expectation
[10/11, 10:00 am] Prithviraj CUBE: Generally after tender leaf formation flowerings does not happen. Here tender leaf formation and flower formation are continuous. Leaf formation is not stopped it is a process of continuity. Let me absorve such flowering in mango trees. Prithviraj
[10/11, 10:05 am] Amirtha CUBE: Sir mango tress flowering only once in one year.
[10/11, 10:30 am] Chithra Ma’am: Flowering occurs in the following season on the freshly sprouted branches.

Abstract
Mango flowering is an important physiological event that sets the start of fruit production. Initiation is the first event that takes place for mangoes to flower. Coincident with shoot initiation, induction occurs based on the conditions present at the time of initiation. Numerous studies with mango trees support the existence of a florigenic promoter (FP) that is continuously synthesized in mango leaves and induces flowering. Translocation experiments suggest that the FP is carried from leaves to buds in phloem. Induction appears to be governed by the interaction of the FP and a vegetative promoter (VP). The FP is translocated as far as 100 cm in subtropical conditions and 52 cm in tropical conditions. In the tropics, floral induction occurs in stems that have attained sufficient time in rest since the previous flush. The age of the last flush is the primary factor governing flowering in the tropics as evidenced by experiments in Colombia. Tip pruning is ideal to synchronize vegetative flush events in the canopy. Potassium nitrate (KNO3) has been shown to stimulate flowering in sufficiently mature stems. Tip pruning and foliar applied KNO3 are effective methodologies that induce synchronous flowering especially in Colombia. Cool temperatures are important for mango floral induction under subtropical conditions. Mangoes grown in the low-latitude tropics rely less on low temperature. Soil and leaf analyses should be conducted to evaluate the nutrient status of trees.
[10/11, 11:24 am] Chithra Ma’am: Generally a healthy
mango shoot completes four to five flushing episodes per year

few of them during the following year.
