Keep constant checks on Apple, Mango and Litchi orchards

APPLE- Proper drainage should be maintained in the apple orchard. In mid-hills, plucking the early varieties of apple should be started and send to the market.

MANGO- Picking the midterm varieties of Mango should be started. Picking of mango should be done with a peduncle of about 8-10mm in length in the morning or evening. Picked fruits should not be in the contact with the soil. Wash the fruits with fresh water and dried in the shade before storage.

LITCHI- Litchi bug can be controlled by spraying of monocrotophos @ 1.5 ml/ha.
