I've been trying to grow a mango from a seed for so long. The roots always get hit by black fungus and it dies off. Tallest I got one to grow was about 10"


Try adding some natto innoculant to the seed


For the Bacillus subtilis?


yes, b. subtilis produces exogenous anti-fungal peptides and VOCs. Additionally, sterilizing the seed before inoculation using sodium hypochlorite or h2o2 would help.


Same with Lychee, after a bit the leaves all start getting brown from the tip and die off.

Avocado on the other hand grows like a charm.
