All varieties flower at the same time of the year, normally in February, showing a synchronized
flowering behavior. Maturity of these mango varieties depends on temperature pattern during
summer months from March to May, and their harvest windows vary from 15 May to 15 August.
According to farmers’ experience, varieties such as langra are highly suitable for the region as
damage due to abnormal weather during flowering is not significant compared to other varieties.
The disadvantage of mango intercropping, however, is that intercropping with rice is no more
possible after three years of growth to the shading cover of mature mango trees.
