Tulsipur, March 28 : Mango trees have seen bloom of flowering in Dang this time compared to its season last year.
Flowering has entirely covered the
mango trees. It has also brought cheers among the farmers. "We have never
seen such a bloom of flowering on mango trees", said Nawaraj Subedi, a
farmer of Tulsipur-7, Praseni, adding it has brought optimism among farmers for
higher yield of mangoes this year.
Diwesh KC, a local of Tulsipur-9,
said it was however challenging to protect the blossoming flowers from
hurricane and storms. "We are worrying that hailstorm and hurricane would
ruin the blooming flowers of mango in coming months. Also, there is a worrying
issue of marketing of excess production".
Agriculture Division Chief of
Tulsipur Sub-metropolis Dhanraj Gautam said there was excessive flowering on
mango tree for this year being the 'on year'. He noted that this year mango
production would immoderately go up if hailstorm, rain and hurricane did not
affect more.
As many as 8,000 metric tons of
mangoes are produced in the district in an average every year.
