Fruit Development, Ripening & HarvestWhy does mango harvest time of day involve a tradeoff?
Cooler picking conditions can reduce the heat carried into the handling area, but early picking may involve greater sap flow. Choose a time that matches your ability to manage both factors. Have the drainage area, shade, and transport ready before starting. Compare sap marking and arrival condition from different picking periods instead of assuming the earliest possible start always produces the cleanest fruit.
