Organic mangosteen

Organic mangosteen production calendar

The production of organic mangosteen for good and standardized yield requires year-round care.

1. The process of preparing the plants to be ready for flowering
(July to October)

2. The process of inducing flowering and controlling the number of flowers per plant appropriately (November to December)

3. The process of promoting the development of fruits and increasing the quantity of quality output (January to April)

4. The process of preventing crop damage (May to June)

July

Manage the fertilizer process to induce the young leaves.

After harvest

Add manure or compost that has undergone a complete composting process. The rate is about 20-60 kg/plant, depending on the canopy size of the tree and soil fertility. The soil sho uld be analyzed once a year.
Foliar spraying with animal or plant bio-fermented water or animal or plant extracts at the rate of 1 liter / 1,000 liters of water.
Pour bio-fermented water from animals or plants or extracts from animals or plant through the soil or give way to the water system at the rate of 3 liters / 1,000 liters

Weeding

After harvest

Mow the grass 2-4 times a year as needed.

Should be cut before flowering and before harvest.
Grass should not be mowed in the rainy season to preserve soil structure.
The grass should not be mowed to maintain the balance of the ecosystem in the garden.

2. Planting medicinal plants in the mangosteen garden

such as turmeric, cha-plu, citronella

Pruning to control the canopy size

After harvest

Trim once a year to allow light into the canopy.
Cut off the shoots that exceed the height needed not more than 1 meter per year, cut 2-3 overlapping branches per year or as appropriate, and cut off the outer branches in the canopy shape that exceeded what is needed by about 50 centimeters.
Cut branches to allow light to enter from both east and west.

August – September

Manage the fertilizer process to induce the young leaves.

After harvest

Spray animal or plant bio-fermented water or animal or plant extracts at the rate of 1 liter / 1,000 liters of water foliar way.
Pour bio-fermented water from animals or plants or extracts from animals or plant through the soil or give way to the water system at the rate of 3 liters / 1,000 liters of water to increase beneficial microorganisms and increase fertility to the soil and mangosteen trees.

Manage fertilizers to promote fertility.

11 – 12 weeks after harvest

Spray egg hormone marinade and/or marinade from shrimp, crab, and shellfish.
Pour fermented juice from yellow fruits or give to the water system at the rate of 3 liters / 1,000 liters of water 2-3 times before flowering.

Survey the infestation of mangosteen enemies when young leaves are broken.

Assess enemy infestation and choose to take action or combine the following methods:

1 Thrips

Plant extracts with pesticide properties such as neem, dead worms, Siam weed, sweet flag, turmeric, citronella, calendula, pakagong, galangal, sweet leaf, deep lee, etc. By fermenting/extracting separately and using alternately.
Bioproducts such as Beauveria and Metarhizium
Natural enemies such as Plesiochrysa ramburi (Schneider), beetles, striped turtle beetles Long-legged flies, thrips hounds’ spiders.
Spray water using a mini sprinkler to increase humidity, and repel thrips.

2 Worms that feed on young leaves

Plant extracts with pesticide properties such as neem, dead worms, siam weed, and water vera, turmeric, citronella, calendula, pakagong, galangal, custard apple leaves, etc. by fermenting/extracting separately and using alternately.
This type of worm hides on the soil, grass clippings, and weeds under the base of the tree during the day and comes up to eat the leaves at night. The use of grass clippings under the root of the mangosteen tree for the worms to take shelter and destroy them during the day can help reduce the outbreak.
Natural enemies such as red ants, assassin bugs, long stink bugs, hornets, worms, Bracon hebetor, and Pteromalus puparum L.
Bioproducts such as Beauveria and Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis)

3 Young leafworm

Use bioproducts and plant extracts as well as prevent leafworm infestations.
Natural enemies such as hornets, worms

4 red mites (found destroying the leaves)

Use the same pesticide prevention methods as thrips.
Sprayed with sulfur. Choose only the necessary range, since the mixture is heated.

5 White mite

Sprayed with sulfur.

6 Leaf spot disease, rust spot, anthracnose or edge blight Algae leaf spot and black mold disease

Prune the branches to be airy.
Plant extracts with protective properties to eliminate plant diseases such as Siam weed, water vera, turmeric, citronella by fermenting/extracting separately and using them alternately.
Bioproducts such as Trichoderma and BS (Bacillus subtilis)

December

Manage water to control flowering

When mangosteen begins to flowers
Increase the water more than before as appropriate for any given area.

Survey for pests that destroy flowers.

After flowering

Spray with organic matter for prevention and pest removal.

Thrips spray protection with organic substances such as:

Plant extracts with pesticide properties such as neem, stemona, siam weed, sweet flag, and water vera, turmeric, citronella, calendula, pakagong, galangal, and custard apple leaves. They are fermented/extracted separately and selected alternately.
Bioproducts such as Beauveria and Metarhizium
Spray water using a mini sprinkler to increase humidity, and repel thrips.

January

Survey pests that destroy the fruits.

After the fruiting

Spray with organic matter for prevention and pest removal.

1. Thrips spray protection with organic substances such as:

Plant extracts with pesticide properties such as neem, stemona, siam weed, sweet flag, water vera, turmeric, citronella, calendula, pakagong, galangal, and custard apple leaves. They are fermented/extracted separately and selected alternately.
Bioproducts such as Beauveria and Metarhizium
Spray water using a mini sprinkler to increase humidity, repel thrips.

2. white mites, spray with sulfur

February

Manage fertilizers to promote fruitful development

Fruits age of about 4 weeks after flowering.

Add manure or compost that has undergone a complete composting process. The rate is about 20 – 60 kg/plant depending on the canopy size of the tree and soil fertility.
Spray bio-fermented water or animal or extracts from plants and animals to the leaves at a rate of 1 liter / 1,000 liters of water.
Pour bio-fermented water from animals such as fermented fish or plants such as fruits or animal or plant extracts through the soil or water system at the rate of 3 liters / 1,000 liters of water to increase beneficial microorganisms and fertility to the soil.

Survey pests that destroy the fruit.

After-fruiting

Spray with organic matter for prevention and pest removal.

thrips and
White mite

***Follow the same process as January ***

Control the amount of fruit per plant appropriately.

After flowering

Water controls the amount of fruit per plant to cause the fruit to fall to about 35-50% of the total shoots.

March-April

Manage water to promote the development of fruits

After flowering onwards

Water 200 – 600 liters per plant every other day, depending on the canopy size of the tree, area, and weather.

Manage fertilizers to increase yield quality

Post-fruiting

Spray bio-fermented water or animal or plant extracts to the leaf at the rate of 1 liter / 1,000 liters of water.
Pour bio-fermented water from animals or plants or animal or plant extracts through the soil or give to the water system at the rate of 3 liters / 1,000 liters of water to increase beneficial microorganisms and increase fertility to the soil and mangosteen tree.
