The climactic conditions that prevail at its farm are ideal for mango production. Moreover, its diversified products program seeks to identify crops that are either naturally suited to a tropical dry environment or that may be easily adapted to it.

Mangoes basically require a warm, semi-dry climate such as the one that prevails at the Fatima Farm of Mangosa . Small fruit can be killed if temperatures drop below 40 F, even for a short period of time. Young trees may be seriously damaged if the temperature drops below 30 F, but mature trees may withstand very short periods of temperatures as low as 25 F. The mango must have warm, dry weather to set fruit. Mangos luxuriate in tropical heat and resent cool, foggy temperatures. Wet, humid weather favors anthracnose and poor fruit set. Thus the climate of the Mangosa plantation is the best suitable for the cultivation of Mango.

Weather Station
Its farm has a meteorological station with all the equipment necessary to record precipitation levels, ambient temperature, wind and relative humidity. Data is collected on a cumulative and on a continual basis. Soil temperature is measured at five different depths. The station also records the number of light hours per day. The data collected by the station is reported three times daily to the Nicaraguan Meteorological Institute and by its technicians in order to estimate the most appropriate harvest time, for irrigation management and for pest control for its mango trees and other crops.

The wealth of meteorological data at Mangosa is a key comparative advantage to other farmers. The experimentation program that has developed proprietary in-house technology for the production of mango is complemented by detailed Weather data that allow more reliable interpretation of experiment results.
