Curious.....I'm wondering if the flowering response is more environmentally controlled, especially when it comes to photoperiods.  Are mango's flowering response photoperiod driven to any extent, as in day long, day short or just plain day neutral when it comes to phytochrome accumulations?

They must have some photosensitivity, If I remember correctly there is about a 1 week delay for every increase of 1 degree latitude. for mangoes .of course local/micro climate and other factors come in to play.

Hi JF, sorry to bug you but it's important to me to understand if you guys are using a surfactant or not? 

Thanks

Got it.  Sounds like a non-ionic surfactant to me.   You can buy them cheap at a feed store.
