Mango Pest & Disease Programs — Biological Inputs That Fit Your Spray Window

Pollination and fruit-set support for mango — Pollen Boost lifts flowering, retention and set on a crop where poor pollination and alternate bearing limit yield.

Growing mango with Vegalab

Mango yield is decided at a short, weather-exposed bloom, and mango is prone to alternate (biennial) bearing, premature fruit drop and poor set. Honeybees don't especially favour mango flowers, so pollination is often the limiting factor.

Vegalab's Pollen Boost supports flowering and fruit set to lift yield in mango orchards. Rates follow the registered label.

Frequently asked questions

How does Pollen Boost help mango set?

It induces new flowers, increases flower retention and attracts more pollinators to improve cross-pollination and set — with effect for up to 7–14 days when a suitable adjuvant is used and timing is right.

Does it help with alternate bearing?

Supporting set in the on-year and flower quality helps even out the alternate-bearing cycle; combine with sound orchard nutrition.
