It is very important to safeguard our standing orchard during monsoon as there is high
humidity / moisture which make a congenial environment for the growth of fungal plant
pathogens. High moisture & humidity favours it growth & development. Its seen that the
monsoon also attracts numerous insects which hampers our orchard. So, in order to
prevent both fungal infection as well as insect infestation, we need to spray fungicide and
insecticide regularly to safeguard our harvest.
