In a recent development that is causing concern among agricultural experts and mango cultivators alike in India, the director of agriculture has pointed out a significant anomaly in the seasonal patterns affecting the mango crop. The late onset of winter flowering is expected to adversely influence the yield of the fruit, potentially leading to a delayed and reduced harvest.
According to the director, "The mango trees have flowered late this season, which is not a good sign for the harvest." This deviation from the usual flowering schedule is attributed to the erratic weather patterns observed over the past months, which have not been conducive to the natural cycle of mango cultivation.
Experts are closely monitoring the situation, hoping for favorable weather conditions in the coming weeks that could mitigate the impact of the late flowering. Meanwhile, stakeholders are advised to prepare for a potentially challenging season ahead.
