Prevent Apple and Mango trees from diseases

Apples: Fruit trees should be continuously monitored to prevent attacks of scab and Alternaria leaf spots. If apple trees are affected by hailstorms, farmers are advised to immediately spray 100 grams of Carbendazim or 600 grams of Mancozeb in 200 liters of water.

Mango: Keep mango tree trunks free of weeds. Fruit trees should be constantly monitored to prevent them from hopper attacks. Insects usually suck the sap from flowers and leaves. Spray Dimethoate @ 1 ml/Liter in mango.
