Mango fruits become ready for harvesting 90-100 days after set. The mature green fruits are to be harvested and ripened under ambient conditions. Leaving fruits on the tree for ripening may result in spoilage of fruits by birds and also such fruits will not stand storage conditions.
Harvest mature fruits and with smooth, undamaged skin. Use a long stick with a knife and basket at the tip or just long stick with knife and clothes or polythehe spread below, off ground to trap falling fruits for tall trees. Collect fruits in a wooden box with smooth inner surface. Avoid picking fruits from the ground. The economic bearing period of mango tree extends up to 40 years.
