Suggestions for apples and mangoes

Apple Fruit development stage: Apply the irrigation weekly in apple orchards.

  • Farmers are advised to apply micro-nutrients like Agromin, Multiplex or Microvit @ 400 to 600 g per 200 L of water after 10 to 12 days.
  • The fruit trees should be monitored continuously to prevent the attack of apple scab and Alternaria leaf spot.

Mango Flowering/ fruit set Stage: Keep the basins free of weeds.
