Irrigation in Bearing Orchards
- The irrigation of bearing orchards at regular intervals (10 to 15 days) is prime
necessity during fruit set and for full fruit development.
- It is helpful in attaining full fruit size and reducing fruit drop.
- But to obtain good flowering, the irrigation during winter months (2-3 months) flower
bud differentiation should be stopped.
- Irrigation during this period promotes vegetative growth, which will be detrimental to
flowering.
- In light soils, the interval of irrigation would be high during hot, dry and windy
weather than in cold and calm atmosphere
