Mango Based on the SWOT analysis of the mango industry, the S&T interventions need to focus on generation and utilization of technological innovations that will address the short- and long-term competitiveness of the country’s mango products (Table 17). Table 17. S&T interventions for mango: short - and long-term research thrust. Area R&D Gaps S&T Interventions Preproduction Variety There is lack of improved Carabao Superior ‘Carabao’ mango seedlings variety with better fruit quality trees with large fruits (average- (size, color, peel thickness), 350–400 g) must be selected. longer shelf life, and resistance to (3–5 years) adverse environmental conditions Superior varieties/strain through The eight registered Carabao strains conventional and nonconvenhave not been tested in different tional breeding (improved locations. quality, long shelf life, resistance Alternate variety for export is lacking to pest and diseases, and Further verification of procedures for tolerance to adverse conditions varietal identification needs to be must be developed.

(ten years) Selection of rootstock species/ varieties with dwarfing influence is needed. (ten years) Development of procedures for improved varietal identification through morphological, biochemical, and DNA fingerprinting is needed. (3–5 years) Planting Present method of propagation Development of efficient propagation materials (cleft grafting) is wasteful method is needed. (3–5 years) of scion materials. There is lack of knowledge on the best rootstocks. There is poor certification and accreditation system of mango nurseries (D). There is lack of supply of quality planting materials (grafted) (D). There is no concerted effort to establish scion groves (D). 34 ............................................................................................................. R&D Status and Directions
