Increasing Mango Production Efficiency under the Fast-Changing Climate

Abstract

Mango (Mangifera indica) is an economically and nutritionally significant fruit crop in the tropical and subtropical regions. The demand for mango fruits and processed products has been high both in the internal and external markets due to its taste and its associated health benefits. In meeting the demands requirement, reengineering the various tools that are available to improve mango production in response to the varied stresses in their environment, especially in the era of climate change, is crucial. The prime goal is to demonstrate the effects of climate change on mango growth, yield and quality while showing interventions that have been deployed to combat it. The chapter focuses on the role climate variability plays in the growth and yield parameters of mango trees, as well as the improvement objectives and approaches employed in enhancing their production and quality. It offers the diverse progress made in overcoming the biotic stresses that hinder mango production as well as the intervention made in improving the nutritional and quality traits of mangoes while offering directions for future research works on mango trees.
