Efforts to Preserve India's Diverse Mango Varieties and Their Pollination Process
India is home to over a thousand mango varieties, with popular types like Banganapalli and Alphonso. Mango trees bloom between December and March, producing flowers that require pollination to develop fruit. Pollinators play a crucial role in this process. In Kerala, the 'Call Before Cut' campaign helps preserve indigenous mango trees by grafting saplings before trees are cut for construction. The initiative also hosts annual mango festivals to promote conservation and awareness.
