• Half N is should be broadcast in inter-row spaces one month after planting
• Remaining N and K2O should be sidedressed at the time of flowering
• Foliar spraying of N @ 0.5%, P2O5 @ 0.2% and K2O @ 0.5% during crop establishment is advisable
• Spraying micronutrient like Bo, Mn, Cu at 0.05% increases fruit yield by 13-20% and improve quality with increased sugar, pectin and vitamin C content.
• Boron play a dominating role by increasing fruit yield and in controlling gray mould.
