trees in general and Cat Hoa Loc mango varieties in particular have been increasingly occupying an important position in the lives of rural communities in the district Up to now, the area of mango trees has accounted for 0.3% of the total agricultural production area of the district, focusing on a relatively stable commodity farming area with the main variety being Hoa Loc mango Despite this, mango production in Phu Cat district presents basic limitations, in which the instability in yield and fruit quality has been and is significantly reducing the efficiency of cultivation due to the main reason, the main thing is that there has not been a complete farming process, improved to suit the local natural and social conditions, first and foremost the Hoa Loc sand mango variety, which has many advantages compared to other varieties Other mango varieties are present in the whole district Besides, the effects of climate change in recent years have caused droughts, floods, and unseasonal rains, which also have a significant negative impact on mango production Therefore, the implementation of the topic "Study on some technical measures to improve the yield and quality of Hoa

SCIENTIFIC BASIS OF THE TOPIC 1.1 The situation of mango production, consumption and research in the world 1.1.1 The situation of mango production, consumption in the world Mango is a tropical fruit tree with high economic and nutritional value Therefore, by the end of 2019, mangoes were grown in 100 countries around the world with a harvested area of 5,588,716 hectares, an output of 55,853 million tons and an average yield of 9.99 tons/ha FAO statistics, 2019) The countries with the largest mango production in the world are India (18.779.000 tons), China (4.771.038 tons), Thailand (3.432.129 tons), Mixico (2.197.311 hectares) and High yields were recorded in Samoa at 36.9 tons/ha, Mali at 23.3 tons/ha, Caboverde at 22.9 tons/ha, Israel at 22.5 tons/ha, (FAO statistics, 2021) 1.1.2 Research status of mango trees in the world * About mango varieties: In Thailand, the most commonly grown mango varieties for commercial purposes are Nam Dok Mai, Nam Dok Mai 04… (Mark A Mossler and J Crane (2009) [76] More than 1,000 varieties of mango have been recorded in India, of which about 30 are used for commercial cultivation, including indigenous varieties of Alphonso, Bangalora, and Alphonso According to P.R Johnson and D Parr (2006) [97], the main mango varieties grown commercially in Australia are Banana, Haden, Irwin, Keitt, Kensington Pride, Kent, Palmer (Zillate), R2E2 and Tommy Atkins * About the density and planting distance of mango trees: Combined results of S.A Oosthuyse (1995) [102] showed that the distance between mango growing households with yields of 10-15 tons/ha/year in South Africa is 12m x 12m (64 trees/ha), 10m x 10m (100 trees) /ha) In India, Singh A.K et al (2012) [105] conducted a test on the effect of growing method on yield of 10-year-old mango orchards, the results showed that individual yield was highest (24.14 kg) /tree) in the method of planting in the square plot with the density of 100 plants/ha and the highest population yield in the method of double row planting (4.1 tons/ha) with the density of 222 plants/ha * Regarding water management: In the Darwin and Katherine regions of Australia, irrigation management for mango trees is based on climatic conditions (evapotranspiration), soil and plant growth characteristics In terms of irrigation time, the newly planted garden is maintained with regular irrigation (except for the rainy season) with the amount of 100 liters/week/plant and using sprinkler irrigation (Y Diczbalis et al, 2006) [114] Similarly, on the basis of soil type, climatic conditions, variety, density and planting distance, water requirements for mango trees in Pakistan are determined between 50 - 400 liters/day/tree (www.dawn.com) ) [116] * Regarding nutritional management for mango trees: Regarding the method of macronutrient fertilization, all the experiments in Pakistan, India, China, Australia and the United States applied macronutrients for mango trees at times: before flowering, after flowering and after fruiting (Shakeel Ahmed et al, 2001 [103]; Zhou Xiuchong et al, 2001 [115]; Babul C Sarker and M.A Rahim, 2012) [49] In contrast, in Kenya and India, due to its dependence on water, it is recommended to fertilize mangoes with the first time after harvest and the second time 3-4 months after the first application (Jurgen Griesbach) , 2003; Horticultureworld.net) [67] [65] * Regarding mango pest and disease management: Pest composition, according to Mark A Mossler and Jonathan Crane (2009) [76], The main pests of mango in Florida are ticks (Oligonychus yothersi, Oligonychus mangiferus, Aceria mangiferae), aphids (Chrysomphalus dictyospermi, Chrysomphalus aonidum, Ceroplastes floridensis, Protopulvinaria pyriformis, Aspidiotus longnerii, Radionaspis inispindica), Morganella inispindica, thrips (Selenothrips rubrocinctus, Frankliniella bispinosa, Frankliniella kelliae) and beetles (Xylosandrus spp.) In the North of Australia, during the mango bud stage (March - April), there is the appearance of leaf beetles, young shoot borers, red thrips and beetles In the pre-flowering, flower-blooming and fruiting period (from May to August), there is the appearance of leaf hoppers, red thrips, bud borers, beetles, fruit stingers and flower hoppers During the fruit development and harvest (August - November) there was the appearance of flower planthoppers, red thrips, fruit flies and mealybugs (Renkang Peng and Keith Christian, 2005) [100] * About harvesting and preliminary processing and preservation: According to J.F Dirou (2004) [68], in the state of New South Wales - Australia, mangoes are harvested when physiologically ripe, shown by the color of the fruit changing from bright green to yellow-green, the beak is full, and the whole fruit is colored Yellow Mangoes are harvested with scissors, keeping the stalk length about cm and not letting the latex from the fruit stalk stick to the fruit After cutting the fruit, conduct preliminary processing and preservation of the mango according to the following steps: Dip the fruit in the detergent solution water Place the fruit on a net for 30 minutes to dry the resin Spray fungicide to control anthracnose Dry the fruit with a drying tube or with a fan Sorting fruits by size and defects of fruit (Usually classified into type 1, type and type for processing; Fruit size is classified as extra large from 10-12 fruits/7kg tray, large type from 14-16 fruit/tray 7kg, medium type from 18-20 fruits/tray 7kg, small type from 22-25 fruits/tray 7kg) Label and pack with plastic tray with insert to avoid collision during transportation Store in a cool dry place at a temperature of 10 - 120C for days Transport to the place of consumption in conditions of temperature 12 - 160C Treat ripening with ethylene (if necessary) Store at a temperature of 18 - 220C 1.2 The situation of mango production, consumption and research in Vietnam 1.2.1 Situation of mango production, consumption in Vietnam In Vietnam, with the characteristics of a country located in the humid tropical monsoon climate, it is generally suitable for the development of mango production in the direction of commodity, present in most ecological regions in the country , in which the concentrated production area is mainly distributed in the Southwest, Southeast, and South Central Coast According to the General Statistics Office, by 2021, the total area of mango cultivation in the country will be 113,900 hectares, the area for harvesting is 88,400 hectares, the output is 999,600 tons and the average yield is 11.30 tons/ha (Nian) Vietnam Statistical Office, 2022) The localities with large mango growing areas compared to the whole country are Son La (19,7 thousand ha), Dong Thap (13.1 thousand ha), An Giang (12.4 thousand ha) and Dong Nai (12.0 thousand ha) ha), Khanh Hoa (8,4 thousand ha) 1.2.2 Research status of mango trees in Vietnam * About breed: In the northern provinces, the production of Yen Chau egg mango, Yen Chau stinky mango, GL1, GL2 and GL6 is mainly developed (Tran The Tuc et al., 2002) [40] In the southern provinces, in addition to indigenous varieties that have been widely developed in production such as Hoa Loc sand, Chu sand, Thanh ca, Buoi mango, Canh Nong, Tuong mango, Bo green sand, and Bo yellow sand (Khanh Bo) Hoa), Cat Moc (Binh Dinh) Recently, foreign mango varieties such as R2E2, Nam Dok Mai, Kiew Sa Very, etc have also been imported, evaluated and expanded production (Pham Ngoc Lieu et al., 2005; Ho Huy Cuong et al., 2005) events, 2006) [25, 9] In addition, the GL4 mango variety imported from Taiwan and the VRQ-XX1 variety imported from Thailand have the ability to adapt and give good yield and quality in some northern provinces of Vietnam (Vu Manh Hai et al , 2010) [19] * Regarding density and planting distance for mango trees: According to the industry standard TCN 487 - 2001, in semi-intensive conditions mango is recommended to be planted with a density of 277 trees/ha with a spacing of 6m x 6m, in intensive conditions mango is recommended to be planted with a density of 416 trees /ha corresponds to a distance of 4m x 6m (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, 2001) [1] * Regarding water management; The survey results on watering mangoes in the concentrated planting area of Binh Dinh show that: Farmers water mangoes by manual method, exploiting groundwater to irrigate each mango tree with a water pipe, each mango tree is made into a tub around the root with a diameter of - 2.5m, each tree irrigate 600 - 800 liters /times and once every 7-10 days (Hoang Vinh et al., 2017) [44] * About nutrition management: According to the industry standard TCN 487-2001, macronutrient fertilizers (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium) are applied to mango trees at the ratio of 1,4 N : 1,0 P2O5 : 1,4 K2O in the period from the first year to the year In the 9th year, from the 10th year onwards, fertilizer is provided at the ratio of 2N : 1P2O5 : 2K2 O and the details of the amount of fertilizer required for mango trees by year are shown in Table 1.4 (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, 2001) [1] Most authors studying mango trees in our country recommend times to fertilize mango trees: The first application at the time of pruning after harvest with the amount of 60% N, 60% P2O5 and 40% K2O; 2nd application at the time when the leaves on the new shoots are green (preparing for mango flowering) with 40% P2O5 and 30% K2O; 3rd application at weeks after fruit set with 20% N and 15% K2O; 4th application at 8-10 weeks after fruit set with 20% N and 15% K2O (Nguyen Minh Chau et al., 2004; Tran The Tuc, 1998) [3] [ 39] * About handling flowering and limiting fruit drop: Research on the effect of NO3- in some salts on the flowering of Carabao mango variety in the Philippines showed that KNO3 treatment was the most effective, the rate of flowering branches after treatment reached 75%, followed by salt NaNO3 (45%), NH4 NO3 (34%), and finally Ca(NO3 )2 only 15% flowers bloom Untreated formulations barely flowered Not only in the Philippines but also in other mango growing regions around the world, the role of KNO3 has been recognized in the flowering of mango trees In the Argue state of Venezuela, spraying KNO3 at a concentration of 3.6% increased the yield of Haden mango for two consecutive years Meanwhile, the control formula obtained much lower fruit yield and only year of fruiting In South Africa, KNO3 treatment at 2-4% concentration for Tommy Akins, Kent and Haden mango varieties increased fruit retention and increased fruit yield (Vu Manh Hai, 2010) [18] * Regarding the management of pests and diseases of mango: In the South Central Coast region, Ho Huy Cuong et al (2009) [11] found that the occurrence of pests is quite common of fruit flies, green grubs, young branch borers, aphids, mealybugs, and mealybugs , thrips, anthracnose and fruit rot on mango trees in Binh Dinh and Khanh Hoa Le Quoc Dien (2007) [15] said that integrated pest management (IPM) is currently the best measure in preventing pests and diseases on fruit trees in general and mango trees in particular for commercial production GAP -oriented According to the author, integrated pest management measures on fruit trees include the following requirements: Establish natural systems to prevent or reduce pests by intercropping; Using reasonable farming techniques (using disease-free and pest-resistant seedlings, cleaning the garden to eliminate the source of pests to cut off the infection, pruning to create a ventilation canopy, control the height of plants for easy care, balance soil nutrients to stimulate the development of beneficial microorganisms and limit pests, rational fertilization and increase organic fertilizer application, limit the use of foliar fertilizers periodically, apply reasonable planting density, manage weeds, manage water and avoid waterlogging) 1.3 Comments drawn from the study review - With the nature of a country with a humid tropical climate and an abundant land fund, Vietnam is also one of the countries with the advantage of developing mango trees and in fact has formed a number of concentrated growing areas has a good brand name with an increasingly large and stable consumption market - The research works are quite rich and comprehensive on mango trees in the world has obtained many achievements in many fields such as: determining ecological needs, selecting and creating suitable varieties for different growing regions, technical measures related to nutrition management, soil moisture management, pest management as well as preand post-harvest care techniques, preservation and processing - In Vietnam, the scientific research on mango trees, although not long and not really systematic compared with advanced countries in the world, has also achieved some respectable results, in which: The evaluation and selection of promising varieties, adapted for each growing area, garden management measures including flowering treatment, training and canopy creation, nutritional management, pest management really make an important contribution to sustainable commercial mango production - In Binh Dinh, although the mango growing area is still modest, it is also considered as a key area in the South Central region However, mango production in general and Hoa Loc mango variety in particular in particular in the province, first of all in Phu Cat district, still shows instability, both in terms of food sources and orchard management measures is in the context of climate change has been happening with increasing extent, moreover, mango trees, mainly Hoa Loc sand mango variety in Phu Cat district, are grown on sandy soil, poor in nutrients, so it is very susceptible to damage influence of external factors and scientific research, therefore, it is necessary to focus on investing, directly solving the urgent needs of mango products in Phu Cat district CHAPTER II: RESEARCH MATERIALS, CONTENTS AND METHODS 2.1 Research Materials - Mango variety: Cat Hoa Loc mango variety - Soil: Research on sandy

identify effective pest management measures 11 However, mango area in Phu Cat tends to be stable from 2015 (220 ha) to 2017 (220 ha) Mango yield in Phu Cat district in particular and Binh Dinh province in general had an unstable increase and decrease in the period 2013 to 2017 due to two main groups of reasons: Firstly: Abnormal changes of weather and climate factors, causing prolonged drought, irrigation water sources not meeting the requirements of plants, plus the occurrence in large quantities The large number of thrips species in the period of budding and young leaves, flowering and fruiting causes the pistil and young fruit to drop a lot Climate change also causes abnormal rainfall, creating conditions for anthracnose to develop harmfully in the stages of bud and young leaves, flowering and young fruit Secondly: Mango growers have not applied synchronously the care process, have not made proper investment and are not proactive in dealing with unusual changes in weather and climate conditions 3.1.2.2 Cultivation method and seed structure * Social factors related to mango farming in Phu Cat: Survey data on social factors has showed that labor force, cultivated area, irrigation water source, consumption mode and investment capital for mango production in Phu Cat district are not factors basic limiting factor The number of main laborers in a household is not much, but with the size of the area not too large, the shortage of human resources will certainly not happen In the field of consumption, the method of bringing products directly to the collection barn, thereby limiting the situation of price pressure when collecting for mango farming households Taking the initiative in own capital to invest in production not only reduces production costs (paying interest when borrowing capital) but also contributes to improving productivity through proactive input of materials to fertilize fertilizer and prevention of pests and diseases at the right time; Only 20% of households have difficulties in farming techniques * Biological factors related to mango cultivation in Phu Cat: Stemming from the market's demand, the area of Hoa Loc mango variety now accounts for a large proportion in production, forming a concentrated commodity production area, creating its own brand, making an important contribution to the country's economy the development of the local economy, improving the lives of workers, especially when the Cat Hoa Loc mango variety is domesticated by most farmers, creating favorable conditions for the synchronous application of technical advances in the area Cultivation to increase yield and product quality 3.1.2.3 Application of technical measures The topography of Cat Hoa Loc mango growing area in Phu Cat district is basically flat land (95% of surveyed households' gardens), which is very convenient for care such as fertilizing, watering, harvesting and transporting The average planting density of the current garden for Cat Hoa Loc mango is 238.0 trees/ha, which is also considered consistent with the recommendations of Binh Dinh Agriculture sector as well as experts (Nguyen Minh Chau et al events, 2005) (Table 3.3) 12 Table 3: Current status of cultivation topography, methods of pest control and planting density in mango cultivation in Phu Cat Evaluation criteria Criteria Value

of survey data and through some of the above analysis, we have found that mango growers in general and with Cat Hoa Loc mango variety in particular in Phu Cat have a relatively firm grasp of fertilization techniques and density plant (Table 3.4, Table 3.5) 3.1.3 The situation of mango consumption in Phu Cat district 3.1.3.1 Consumption chain of mango products The strengths and weaknesses of the mango cycle from producer to consumer in Phu Cat district can be summarized as follows: A concentrated commercial mango area has been created in Phu Cat district with the main mango variety being Cat Hoa Loc Hoa Loc sand mango in Phu Cat district has been recognized by consumers and is always in demand from the stable annual consumption market 3.1.3.2 Classification and post-harvest

from 14,9 to 18,6 tons/ha and the difference was significant at 95%, showing that irrigation method has a clear impact on yield of mango trees during the business period, in which the drip irrigation method gave outstanding results (18,6 tons/ha) In the 2016 fruit crop, the yield was lower than that of 2015, the drip irrigation method still brought the highest fruit yield (12,5 tons/ha) In 2017, the significant difference between irrigation methods is not only reflected in the yield criterion but also in the number of fruits per tree at the time of harvest with the same trend: gradually increased from traditional irrigation method (lowest) to low-range sprinkler irrigation according to mini pan, to watering with plastic pipes according to mini pan and finally to drip irrigation according to mini pan (highest) The number of fruits per tree of the experimental treatments varied from 144 to 189 fruits/tree, in which the drip irrigation method gave the highest number of fruits per tree (189 fruits), followed by the plastic pipe irrigation method according to mini pan (180 fruits) to low-range sprinkler irrigation according to mini pan (158 fruits) and finally watering according to the traditional method (144 fruits) The actual yield in the experimental treatments ranged from 11,3 to 14.9 tons/ha, ranked from highest to lowest is the drip irrigation method according to mini pan (14,9 tons/ha), irrigated by plastic pipes according to mini pan (14,0 tons/ha), low-range sprinkler irrigation according to mini pan (12,7 tons/ha) and finally the traditional irrigation method Drip irrigation has the highest water use efficiency of 46,1kg/m3 in 2015; 47,5 kg/m3 in 2016 and 114,4 kg/m3 in 2017 Thus, both mini-pan drip irrigation, mini-pan plastic pipe irrigation and mini-pan low-range sprinkler irrigation all have higher water efficiency than farmers' traditional irrigation Economic efficiency of irrigation methods was evaluated by FEM model (Piter C.) Drip irrigation brings the highest economic efficiency to farmers with a profit of 130 million/ha/year Irrigation with plastic pipes according to mini-pan also gives higher economic efficiency than traditional irrigation with a net profit of 122,2 million/ha/year The data along with the above analysis show that, of the four different methods of watering mango trees, the drip irrigation method has the highest water use efficiency It is the advantages of the drip irrigation method that have positively impacted the growth, development and yield of mango trees on sandy soil in Binh Dinh 3.2.3 Evaluation of the effectiveness of irrigation and fertilization (Fertigation) techniques Yields of the experimental treatments ranged from 6,56 to 13,13 tons/ha in 2018 and from 7,03 to 13,70 tons/ha in 2019, the highest was R6 at 13,13 tons/ha (in 2018) and reached 13,70 tons/ha (in 2019), the lowest in 2018 is R2 (6,56 tons/ha) and in 2019 is CT1 (7,03 tons/ha) The number of type fruits in the experimental treatments ranged from 37,33 to 68,43 fruits/tree, the lowest being R1 (37,33 fruits) and the highest being R6 (68,43 fruits) in the year 2018 In 2019, this indicator ranges from 37,33 to 73,33 fruits/tree, the lowest is R1 (37,33 fruits) and the highest is R6 (73,33 fruits) The indicator (%) of grade fruit ranged 16 from 59,80 to 67,53%, the lowest being R5 (59,89%) and the highest being R3 (67,53%) in 2018 In 2019 only This target ranged from 54,76 to 61,63%, the lowest was R5 (54,76%) and especially R3 (61,63%) Table 3.13: Effect of watering and fertilizer on yield of mango

The yield of the experimental formulas has a statistically significant difference at the 95% confidence level The experimental formulas in the same method of fertilizing according to the traditional method (R1, R2, R3) did not differ from each other and the experimental formulas applied completely soluble fertilizers through the irrigation system (R4, R5, R6) there is no difference, but the yield between the two fertilization methods has a statistically significant difference at the 95% confidence level, which shows that the change of fertilizer method from traditional fertilizer method The traditional method of fertilizing completely soluble fertilizers through the irrigation system has significantly increased mango yield on sandy soil in Phu Cat (Table 3.13) * Economic efficiency Along with the yield factor, the economic efficiency analysis results also show that, when fertilizing completely dissolved fertilizers through the irrigation system, the water efficiency and fertilizer use efficiency increased significantly , in which soluble fertilizer through drip irrigation system (R6) gives the highest yield and is also the formula with the 17 highest economic efficiency, higher than the remaining formulas and higher than the control formula 129 million VND/ha/year, besides that, the rate of return on investment capital of CT6 reached 2,7 times and was also 0,9 times higher than the control 3.2.4 Research to identify effective pest management measures Table 3.15 has showed that, for anthracnose that damages young leaves, the disease rate of the two formulas R1 and R2 fluctuated from 7,50 to 8,00% in 2018, from 7,50 to 8,50% in 2019 and significantly lower at 95% compared to the two formulas R3 and R4 (35,75 and 37,25% in 2018; 35,75 and 37,50% in 2019 respectively) On inflorescence, the rate of anthracnose in formulas R1, R2 and R3 fluctuated from 5,50 – 8,25% in 2018, from 6,00 – 9,00% in 2019 and was significantly lower significance at 95% compared with the R4 formula (disease rate 33,25% in 2018 and 34,00% in 2019) On the contrary, on fruit, the rate of anthracnose disease increased gradually from formulas R1 and R2 (the rate of disease in 2018 increased from 5,75% to 8,50% and in 2019 increased from 6,00 to 9,00%), the highest is the R3 formula (the disease rate in 2018 and 2019 is 23,00%) and the highest is the R4 formula

thrips was lowest in the treatments R1 and R2 (respectively, the rate of thrips infestation on young leaves was similar to that of anthracnose) are 6,75% and 7,25% in 18 2018; 7,00% and 7,50% in 2019) and significantly lower at 95% than the two formulas R3 and R4 (33,25% and 35,75% in 2018; 34,50% and 36,50% in 2019) On inflorescence, the damage rate of thrips in treatments R1, R2 and R3 fluctuated from 5,75 to 7,50% in 2018; from 6,00 – 7,50% in 2019 and significantly lower in statistical value than the formula R4 with disease prevalence of 36,5% in 2018 and 37,00% in 2019 On the contrary, on fruit, the damage rate of thrips increased gradually from treatments R1 and R2 (harm rate in 2018 was 8,50% and in 2019 was 9,00% to 9,50% respectively), is higher than formula R3 (harm rate in 2018 is 26,50% and in 2019 is 26,75%) and the highest is formula R4 (harm rate in 2018 is 47,25% and in 2019 is 47,25%) (Table 3.16) The research results on control of thrips and anthracnose on mango we have just presented are related to the type of pesticides used The formulas R1 and R2 used different pesticides, but all had similar chemical origin with similar control effect, so the criteria for the percentage of young leaves, flower and fruit damage, both thrips and disease exclamation has no significant difference; In contrast, in formulas R3 and R4 using biological pesticides to prevent anthracnose and thrips at the young leaf and fruit stage, because the control effect of biological pesticides is not high, the rate of anthracnose and the rate of thrips is not high The damage rate of thrips of treatments R3 and R4 was higher than that of formula R1 and R2; Formula R3 had lower rates of anthracnose and thrips damage on fruit than formula R4 because at the fruit development stage, formula R3 used chemical-based pesticides in the permitted list and formula Table 19: Yield criteria of Hoa Loc mango in 2018-2019 in Phu Cat Targets RECIPE R1 R2 R3 R4 CV % LSD0,05 Number of

Table 3.19 shows that in 2018 the highest number of fruits harvested per tree was R2 (88,70 fruits) The number of fruits harvested per tree of the experimental treatments was different and this difference was statistically significant Various pest control measures have increased the number of fruits harvested per tree In 2019, the data in Table 3.19 also showed that the highest number of fruits harvested per tree of the experimental treatments was R1 (104,50 fruits) In 2019, the experimental formulas had a difference in the number of fruits harvested per tree and this difference was statistically significant Various pest control measures have changed the number of fruits harvested per 19 tree The highest yield of the experimental formulas in 2018 was R2 (12,20 tons), this difference was statistically significant In 2019, this indicator reached the highest R2 (11,62 tons), this difference is also statistically significant Due to the high prevalence of anthracnose and the damage rate of thrips, the yield of formula R3 and formula R4 was significantly lower at statistical value with 95% confidence compared to formula R1 and R2 Besides yield, the rate of grade fruit

experiment Thus, the use of existing biological pesticides cannot replace chemical-based pesticides for the high yield of Hoa Loc mangoes and the rate of type fruit over 60.0%, so in addition to the With mechanical measures (pruning pests and diseases, overhanging branches to open the canopy, cover the fruit and clean the field), the use of chemical-based pesticides on the list of allowed use is still the top priority for productivity Hoa Loc sand mango achieved high and the rate of type fruit was over 60.0% 3.2.5 Research to determine concentrated flowering treatment measures The results of the study on the effect of Paclobutrazol on the flowering and fruiting ability showed that there was a significant difference in statistical value with 95% confidence in the percentage of flowering buds between the treatments in the experiment On average of the years of experiment, the rate of flowering shoots of the formula in the experiment increased gradually as follows, the lowest was only 5,4% with the formula R1, and the two formulas R4 and R8 were equivalent and varied from 19,80 – 24,00%, three formulas R2, R5 and R9 are equivalent and fluctuate from 42,30 – 47,90%, the highest is the two formulas R3 and R7 which are equivalent and fluctuate from 67,10 – 73,10% Besides the difference in the percentage of flowering buds, flower bud morphology also differed between the treatments In which, after the stimulation of flowering, the formulas R1, R2, R3, R6 and R7 had normal flower morphology (inflorescence indicated on shoots and shown in Figure of the report) and formulas R4 ,

For the criterion (%) of grade fruit of the formulas participating in the experiment in 2018 ranging from 29,1 to 65,2%, the lowest was R1 (29,1%) and the highest was R3 (65, 2%) In 2019, this indicator ranges from 41,07 to 71,55%, the lowest is R1 (41,07%) and the highest is R3 (71,55%) The difference between the experimental formulas is statistically 22 significant The application of different pruning measures increased the percentage of type fruit of Hoa Loc mango in Phu Cat 3.3 Results of general application of technical measures on Cat Hoa Loc mango variety 3.3.1 Situation of pests and diseases, yield and quality of fruit in the model applying the combined results The most suitable technical measures in individual experiments have really worked when applied to the production garden Model of application of technical advances using narrow-spectrum chemical-based plant protection drugs (special treatment) with broad spectrum of action, so the rate of anthracnose disease and damage rate of thrips on leaves Young, flowering and fruiting in the model were all lower than those of the control Although there was no difference in fruit weight and flowering rate between the model and the control, the number of harvested fruits/tree in the model was higher (98,10 fruits/tree, 21,5% higher than that of the control model) compared with the control, 80,70 fruits/tree), so the actual yield in the model was significantly higher (12,31 tons/ha compared with 7,50 tons/ha; 37,1% higher) It is noteworthy that, along with the superiority in fruit yield, the percentage of type mangoes in the model was also much higher than that of the control outside the model (73,3% vs 60,7%) (Table 3.29) Table 29: Model applying the results of synthesis of Hoa Loc mango

12,31 7,500 3.3.2 The quality and economic efficiency of the model applying the combined results The results of the post-preservation quality analysis have showed that the mango fruit in the demonstration model still retained the characteristic qualities of the variety (Brix degree 18,9%, fiber content 2,75%,) Notably, the post-harvest products of the model did not detect residues of harmful microorganisms (Coliforms and E.coli), heavy metals (arsenic and lead) and pesticides (chlorine, phosphorus and chrysanthemum) In terms of economic efficiency, although the total cost of the model applying the combined results is higher than that of the control because it has to calculate the depreciation 23 of the drip irrigation system, the cost of buying bags of fruit and the labor of fruit bags, but Thanks to the savings in watering, spraying and fertilizer costs, the model's net profit reached 250,350 million and 32,00% higher than the control (net profit was 189,2 million VND/ha), Besides, the model's rate of return on invested capital reached 3,15 times and was also 2,88 times higher than that of the control model CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Conclusion Weather conditions, climate, soil properties, size of land fund along with local labor sources and investment capital of people in Phu Cat district have basically met the development requirements of Cat mango variety Hoa Loc in particular and in fact has formed a relatively stable consumption chain, meeting the requirements of the consumption market Some of the major limiting factors of mango production in this region are climate change-related pest outbreaks, fertilization regimes, and pest control, especially anthracnose, thrips and thrips Flowering treatments are not suitable, water source is still precarious, postharvest loss rate is quite high, short storage time reduces profit as well as competitiveness of products Main technical measures to supplement and perfect the process of sustainable intensification of Cat Hoa Loc mango variety in Phu Cat district include: - Irrigation of mango orchards that are harvesting fruit by means of a mini pan (mini pan) increases yield by 9-10%, reduces water volume by 34-70% and increases net profit by 21% compared to traditional methods Especially when using the method of watering in combination with fertilizing with a dose of 3kg NPKS + 0.75kg KCl/plant, the yield increased significantly (increased compared to the control of 6,37 tons/ha in 2018 and 6,37 tons/ha in 2018) 6,67 tons/ha in 2019) - Prevention of mango pests by integrated solutions, combining field hygiene, postharvest pruning, reasonable fertilization with the correct and selective use of chemical pesticides Special treatment significantly reduced infection rate, improved yield (increase of 0,4 tons/ha/year compared to control) - Flowering treatment of Cat Hoa Loc mango variety in Phu Cat district by the combination of PBZ + MKP + Thiourea brought good results, the indicators of number of flowering buds, number of fruits/buds, and number of fruits per tree were higher than the control no effect and the combination of PBZ + MKP + KNO3 in which PBZ was treated at 15 days of brush age (R3) and 45 days of shoot age (R7) gave the best results (yield of 11,15 tons, respectively) /ha and 12,06 tons/ha) - The method of pruning the mango canopy according to the process of the Southern Central Institute of Science and Technology (R2: mainly removing level and branches in combination with cutting the tops) has a superior effect compared to the initiation method (R3: removing the tops) remove both level and branches in the middle of the canopy and press the tops) and the instructions of Binh Dinh Agricultural Extension Center (R1: mainly 24 remove branches and pests) with a net profit of 159,6 million VND/ha (72,9 million higher than R3, 143,1 million higher than R1) General application of technical measures obtained from the project in the form of a demonstration model has limited the harmful effects of thrips and anthracnose, improved yield (12.31 tons/ha/year, high than the control 4.81 tons/ha/year), increasing the economic efficiency (32.0% higher than the control) Recommendations It is recommended that mango growers in Phu Cat district and other districts with similar conditions in Binh Dinh province should apply technical measures in mango orchard management shown in the application model of the combined results of the study LIST OF DISCLOSED SCIENTIFIC WORKS RELATED TO THE THESIS Nguyen Tan Hung, Hoang Vinh,
