Mango is one of the world's five major fruits and is known as the "King of Tropical Fruits," enjoying great popularity among domestic and international consumers. In recent years, there has been high enthusiasm for mango cultivation across various regions, with continuously expanding planting areas. However, many mango orchards suffer from poor management, with mature mango trees experiencing fruitlessness, lack of flowers, alternate bearing, and low-quality fruits. To meet the needs of mango production development, address practical issues in mango production, and further improve the scientific and technological level of mango cultivation, the authors have compiled the book "Mango Flower and Fruit Control Technology" based on years of production experience and reference materials. This book introduces techniques such as fruit harvesting from mature mango trees, the cultivation of fruit-bearing branches, winter shoot control, flower bud differentiation promotion, flower and fruit preservation, major pest and disease control, an introduction to high-quality varieties, and high-grafting and rootstock replacement techniques through colorful illustrations. The content is practical, easy to understand, and closely linked to production realities. Due to the limited time and the authors' limited expertise, any errors or omissions are sincerely hoped to be pointed out by peers and readers.
