Mango can grow successfully on wide range of soils, with red loamy soil being optimal. Soils should have a good capacity for water retention, but poorly-drained soils will limit growth. Deep (greater than 1.2m), alluvial soils with organic matter will facilitate the best growth. For these reasons, cultivation in plains rather than on hills is preferred.
Mango grows well in most tropical and sub-tropical regions but is highly sensitive both severe heat and frost. Varied rain distribution across the cropping stages is crucial for a successful harvest. For example, dry weather is good for pollination during flowering, while rainy weather helps with fruit development. High wind can be damaging to mango trees.
