Manuring and Irrigation

    Manuring
    • 1 tonne of carambola fruit is reported to remove 1.28 kg N; 0.12 kg P, 1.58 kg K.
    • No recommended fertilizer dose is available. Addition of ā€˜Nā€™ fertilizer improves the yield.
    • Normally organic manures are only applied.
    Irrigation
    • Irrigations are given during fruit development only if the weather is dry.
    • Trees may be provided 200 litre/ tree/ weak in dry periods.
    • Mulching will be very helpful in reducing weed growth and irrigation needs.
