Cut the leaves and branches of ankota (Alangium salvifolium) plant into roughly one-foot-long pieces. Then after making one layer of organic manure, place the ankota pieces over it. Prepare three to four alternating layers of organic manure and ankota like this. Close the manure pit from the top with soil. Leave it for 8 months, after which the manure will be ready for use. When the manure is ready, apply it around the mango tree by making a basin around the tree and filling it with this manure. This will induce early flowering and fruiting. As the ripened mangos become available for sale early, they will fetch better prices to the farmer. This technique was developed by the farmer himself and has been found to be very effective.
