Tropical and subtropical fruits (2+1)

Intercultural operations

• Daincha and sun hemp can be grown as intercrops to check weed growth paraquat (7.5lit/ha) as post emergence application controls weeds effectively.
• Pandal system discourages weed growth to maximum extent. Mulching with paddy husk will reduce weed growth, water requirement and improves the quality of yield.
• Spraying CCC at 500PPM at five leaf stage after back pruning increases fruitfulness.
• GA at 10PPM spray 22-25 days after for pruning elongates the clusters.
  
• Dipping of clusters in 60PPM GA at bajra grain to red gram sized berries increases berry size.
  
• Girding the fruit bearing shoot also improves berry size.
• 1 g of grape production requires 16-26 cm2 leaf area.
