Why is my Mallika mango ripening unevenly with a green nose and hard tip?

Uneven ripening with a hard green nose in Mallika is usually due to harvesting immature fruit and to uneven or forced ripening. Mallika needs to reach full physiological maturity on the tree before harvest; if picked too early the tip end does not ripen properly later. Judge maturity by full shoulder development, the change in skin bloom, specific gravity, and the start of slight softening, not by a calendar guess. Harvest mature-green, then ripen uniformly in a controlled ethylene chamber at the right temperature and humidity, which gives even colour and flavour; random ambient ripening and especially carbide give patchy results. Avoid harvesting in the hottest part of the day. Adequate potassium and calcium nutrition during fruit growth also improves uniform ripening and quality. Once you harvest at true maturity and ripen properly, the green-nose problem largely disappears.
