Agroforestry
Agroforestry is intentional management of trees together with crops, livestock, or other agricultural components on the same land. Mango can be part of such a system, but successful combinations require planning for shade, root competition, water use, access, and changing tree size. A young orchard's inter-row crop may become unsuitable as the canopy closes. The approach can diversify production and provide ecological benefits, but does not automatically increase fruit quality or eliminate pests without attention to the particular planting design.
