FRUITS- To protect the fruit plants from intense heat, apply frequent irrigations to the bearing as well as young fruit plants.

• Regularly remove the suckers arising from the rootstock portion of the newly planted fruit plants and these plants should be supported with sticks to keep them erect during rainy season.
• Apply white wash mixture containing copper sulphate on the main trunks of fruit trees to protect them from diseases.
• Sowing of intercrops of moong, mash, sesame, guari can be done in non-bearing/juvenile orchards. Keep suitable distance between main and intercrop. The irrigation system should also be separate for both crops.
