for flower and fruit treatment, these are, Mrig Bahar (June-July), Hasta Bahar<br />

(September-October) and Amebye Bahar (Dec-Jan).<br />

reduced stress while second is the chemical <strong>in</strong>duced stress. First method is<br />

recommended under organic farm<strong>in</strong>g.In first method irrigation is completely or<br />

partially stopped for 4-6 weeks depend<strong>in</strong>g on the soil type and environmental<br />

conditions. 50-70% leaf defoliation is expected and considered to be an ideal<br />

stage <strong>of</strong> stress However, disease and pest management becomes very critical <strong>in</strong><br />

this treatment because <strong>of</strong> favorable conditions for the growth <strong>of</strong> micro-organism,<br />

<strong>in</strong>sect and pest.<br />

MRIG BAHAR (June/July treatment): In this treatment, flower<strong>in</strong>g is allowed at the<br />

beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> monsoon. This treatment is well preferred by farmers from arid to<br />

semi-arid region where there are limited water resources availableredom<strong>in</strong>ant<br />

because <strong>of</strong> high humidity.<br />

Plants are exposed to water stress dur<strong>in</strong>g December to February depend<strong>in</strong>g on<br />

variety. This treatment is practiced by the growers who grow their orchards under<br />

heavy clay soil. Special attention is required to control sun burn and crack<strong>in</strong>g to<br />

the fruit <strong>in</strong> this treatment.<br />
