FRUITS- Planting of evergreen fruit plants such as citrus, guava, mango, litchi, papaya, bael, sapota, pomegranate etc. can be done in this season. Planting should be done properly for better success.

• As heavy rainfall is expected during next 2-3 days, farmers are advised to make proper channels to drain out the excessive water from orchards.
• Do not allow the water to stagnate around the tree trunks. Keep the basin of the plants slightly higher than rest of orchard soil.
• Apply white wash mixture containing copper sulphate on the main trunks of fruit trees to protect them from diseases.
