For a 1-3-year-old crop, apply 10-20kg of cowdung that has been well decomposed, 100-300gm of Urea and 150-450gm MOP per tree. Apply 25-35 kg cowdung to a 4-6-year-old crop. Urea@400-680 gm is recommended, as well as SSS@800-1200gm and MOP@600-930 gm. Cowdung@40-60kg, Urea@700-930 gm SSP@1400-1800gm MOP@1050-1350gm per tree. Apply 60 kg of cowdung, Urea@1000gm, SSP@2000gm and MOP@1500gm to trees older than 10 years.

Use the entire amount of SSP, MOP and cowdung in December month. Use half the dose of Urea in February before flowering and the remaining half in April.
