Flowering Control
Micro-climate for root-zone and canopy for flower induction and fruit growth and ripening can
be automated. The tree produces dense clusters of flowers with cream-pink petals on
branched panicles. The mango fruit is roughly oval in shape, with uneven sides. Mango trees
grow best in tropical or subtropical climates where there is no danger of frost and especially
in areas where the rainfall over the four summer months (June to September) totals 75 to
250 cm (30 to 100 in) and is followed by 8 months of dry weather. The trees grow optimally
at temperatures of 2427C (75.280.6F) with a relatively cool dry season and where heat
is highest during flowering and fruiting. Mangos will tolerate almost any soil as long as it is
well draining. Optimal growth will be achieved in rich, deep, well drained, loams. However,
very rich soils will promote vegetative growth at the expense of flower and fruit production
and should be avoided.

8. Connectivity Management
Perlis is the only producer of Harumanis mangoes in the country and its seasonal only once
a year. The concept of industrial development will be carried out with more organized to
increase the use of information systems and technology, by using the system for the
management of agricultural practices mango good for increasing the production and quality
of Harumanis mangoes.

Problem Statement
The problem statement is Harumanis mangoes care management is not systematic and
orderly, many problems experienced by farmers such as disease problems for trees and the
fruit of reason by the path of unorganized and additional information received from the
Department of agriculture and farmers do not get completed in the process of caring for
trees and fruit.
The biggest problem frequently faced by farmers is the lack of fruits and mango fruit caused
by a disease of locks known diseases of Antraknos. Fruit and flower Antraknos disease is
caused by a fungus and a major disincentive in the production of mango in tropical areas.
This disease can cause newly formed fruits, mango falls. The disease also causes high
damage on fruit after the cited if not controlled.

Scope of the Visited

Objective of the Project

-To design a system management for progressive agricultural entrepreneurs to increase
farm productivity and agricultural production (harumanis mangoes).
-To develop a progressive agricultural entrepreneurs to increase farm productivity and
agricultural production (harumanis mangoes).
-To propose of information systems and technology, by using the system for the
management of agricultural practices mango good for increasing the production and quality.

9. Transparent marketing/ E-marketing

To increase harvest index, the derisking system will also help to increase the potential
harvest to greater than 70 per cent compared with 30 per cent through the conventional
openfield production system. Pointing out that the current experimental yield obtained was
about 25kg per plant, the fruit production is equivalent to 25 tonnes per hectare per year.
Under the CHPS, each mature plant can yield at least 50 fruits of 500 grammes each year.
A conservative gross return of RM0.5million/hectare can be expected in using the system.
Harumanis mangoes price for the local market in Perlis now stands at RM30 per kg and it
proves that high-value fruit and give a big advantage to the entrepreneur and the seller.

Conclusion
Conclusion fo the visited is the technology will be the lynched pin of sustainable
agriculture development. However, getting it across to the stakeholder and institutionalizing
the systems could be a major hurdle as well. To justify the need for reinvestment on the
environment, creating new market, capacity building of new farmers and convincing the
skeptic and tecno-paranoid are some of the other major challenges. To rise from basic
agrotechnology to advance agrotechnology there will be a lot of integration of engineering
and biological sciences with entrepreneurial and business common sense to make the biobased economic engine move sustainably. Our effort at realizing the idea of mango farming

in the green house to strategic research to opportunistic collaboration and transformation to

pilot farm is the show case integration of the realm of biosystems engineering applied.
