After the monsoon and harvesting season, orchard maintenance is crucial for a record yield next year. Essential tasks include providing the right amount of fertilizer and water, protecting the trees from diseases, preventing water accumulation on trunks, and pruning dry and weak branches.
Fertilizers should be applied only after conducting a soil test to ensure balanced nutrition. Well-rotted cow dung or vermicompost can improve soil quality, and any detected deficiencies in zinc, boron, magnesium, or potash should be treated using specific fertilizers advised by an expert, followed by light irrigation.
Thoroughly inspecting and pruning dry, broken, diseased, and intertwined branches helps improve the circulation of air and light inside the tree canopy while effectively removing diseased parts to protect the plant's health.
