Key takeaways
Trench-irrigate 1 m from mango trunk and 24 hours later spray 13-0-45 at 12 g/L (or aged sour curd) to push abundant flowering.
1 acre of moringa with 4x2 m spacing, monthly fertiliser and grade-sorted pods yields 4-5 tonnes/year and consistent six-figure income.
Trellis 100-300 Gac vines on existing trees with organic compost - 4-month-flower / 90-day-fruit gives Rs 300-450/fruit to cancer-patient and Lulu Market channels.
