Hello, I have a mango tree which is 3 years old and planted inside a greenhouse in Lebanon in the Middle East Region. According to a plant pathologist the tree is infected by Anthracnose disease. I sprayed it with Copper and Mancozeb fungicide 3 times every 3 weeks. Now the fruit is small and it is cracked as shown in the pictures attached. What is the problem that causes this cracks in the fruits? And how can I solve this problem? Thank you for your help and consideration. Best Regards, Karim.
You are fortunate to have a plant pathologist to consult. Neem oil could possibly help will these issues your mango tree has or a calcium product. These articles may help

Thank you for your help DLarum.
I can understand from your answer that my mango trees have calcium deficiency.
we noticed a few months ago that the leaves on our mango tree had lots of black spots, so I took it to Home Depot Garden center and they gave us a treatment. We followed instructions, the black spots are gone, but no fruits:-(((...we are so disappointed! We wait all year for them, will the tree give us fruits again? How long after?
That link does not answer my question: after treatment,will the tree give us fruits again? How long after?
This link will help you pinpoint the issue.

how much area does a mango tree root needs as i have rocks after 6 feet of good soil and also have 10 feet of sides with good soil will it grow good
Mango trees produce long taproots, which search for water and anchors this massive tree in the ground. The best soil is at least 19 1/2 feet deep, but with good watering practices, mangos grow well in 3-foot-deep soil. Check the area for impermeable layers under the topsoil, which will stop the roots from growing downward. It is important to transplant the mango tree while young, since the roots quickly grow deep.
The soil must drain well for the mango tree to survive.
Mango trees like moderately fertile soil but have a low tolerance for salty soil.

Our mangoes start to grow, as soon as it starts something eats it and then it falls off, what can I use to get rid of it and that it is safe for my tree
Does the damage look like it was done by larger animals like mammals or birds, or by insects? Check on and in the fruit for any insects or larvae. Check this article for types of insect pests and what to do about them:

If the culprit seems to be birds or mammals, you can surround the tree with netting designed to keep birds and mammals off once the fruit begins to grow. Check under the netting every day in case an animal manages to get inside.
