Mango Fruit Detachment of Trees after Applying a Blend Composed of HNO and Charcoal Activated.

This seasonal labor is becoming expensive and when many orchards produce fruit simultaneously, grower losses increase. In this research, an innovative fruit detachment method was tested after applying a viscous paste to the pedicel of mango fruits hanging in the tree.
