decision to harvest Sindhri Mango fruit..
take wise decision to harvest
Sindhri Mango fruit...again there r two maturity levels "Sea Shipments"
and "Air Shipments"....which one is good for sea shipment and air
shipment.....later on I'll come to brix levels....external charachertistics,
internal pulp color "chart to be followed"..and third is brix
level.....There fruit were harvested from the same mango tree "same
date & same time" and just look at the variations....so be good at
harvest "harvest proper mature fruits atleast minimum two times from the
tree in special cases 3 times" Just imagine where contractors used to
harvest these fruits in one go & so early what will be the
result?..........think about it.....haven't mentioned other
factors....just the fruit & it's maturity....and the outcomes....

Pakistan and agricultural scientists per million
In
Pakistan, there were 44 agricultural scientists per million people
during 1988 as compared to 2360, 1400, and 300 agricultural scientists
per million people respectively in USA, UK, and Egypt [John Mellor
Associates (1994)]. The number of agro-ecological zones,
types of
agricultural production systems, and 130 commercial crops that the
country’s agricultural research deals with, demands for a
much greater number and more qualified scientific staff to be engaged
in agricultural R & D activities.The recent number of agricultural
scientists and estimates on the level of funding for
agricultural
research are not readily available. The research expenditures per
agricultural scientist in Pakistan were 8.9 thousand US dollars (240
thousand rupees) during 1980 as compared to 56.4, 30.2, and 21.8
thousand dollars per agricultural scientist respectively in Malaysia,
Indonesia, and India. It came down to Rs. 194 thousands per scientist
during 1992 in real terms. (Can not have latest figures with regard to
agriculturist/million peoples in Pakistan)
