How to avoid fruit drop due to rise in temperature

In citrus, pear, litchi and mango apply light irrigations at regular intervals. 

• White wash mixture can be applied on the main trunks of the fruit trees to protect them from intense heat.

• Thatches or coverings can be erected to save the young fruit plants from intense heat with straw or datepalm leaves. 

• Zinc sulphate @ 4.7 g and Manganese sulphate @ 3.3 g per litre of water can be sprayed in citrus plantation.
