A Successfull Chemical Application(Sirada)

This is the actual footage of my mango tree (full of flowers)

Yesterday me and my spray man Lakay decided to close the chemical application in preparation for the full anthesis stage of the mango flowers. As early as 6 o'clock in the morning, I immediately proceeded from my Residence to the mango farm that is located in Mintal, Davao City. As I arrived in the area, we both set up the materials and the equipments for the days activity and mix all the chemical formulations. At exactly 6:30 in the morning, we started spraying chemicals into the mango trees and finished 1 thousand liters of my chemical mixtures. Unfortunately after 4 hours of spraying, we experienced a water interruption and the people in the area already knew that water supply will resume on 11 o'clock in the evening and we still need to spray another 1000 liters to cover the whole mango population So, We decided to get water supply in the Tugbok irrigation system that is located along Tugbok road national hi-way and its more or less 5 kilometers away from the mango farm. We have no choice in that point in time but to proceed in the said area for water. I'm really getting tired during that time because we are only two to perform that activity. I was the one driving the pick-up and at the same time I will also manage to set up again the power machines in the irrigation area. Doing that thing back and fort , we still finished the spraying on that day but it is really late in the evening. It is around 7 o'clock in the evening that me and the spray man named Lakay finished all the mango trees.


Here are some videos taken during that time.
Meet the SPRAYMAN!!!

Due to water interruption, we get water from the Tugbok Irrigation system.

shei pag nagflashing ang mangga mo ok yan siya kasi it means na lumalaki ang iyong mango tree and ang gawain mo count mo yung number of days from the time na nagflashing siya count ka ng 2 months then apply ka ng cultar chemical this chemical is a maturing chemical madali niyang papamaturin ang mga leaves then after cultar application wait for another three months then you are now ready for flower induction meaning pweede munang pabulaklakin siya you buy calcium nitrate and spray clacium nitrate at the rate of 6 kilos per 200 liters or simply computing 6 kilos of calcium per isang malaking drum
