If the drip irrigation facility is not available, then full grown tree of pomegranate are to be irrigated with flow irrigation at an interval of 8-10 days in summer, 13-14 days in rainy (in the absence of rains) and 17-18 days in winter seasons. > For protection of pomegranate crop against diseases and pests, adopt preventive measures as per recommendations given by the Agriculture Universities. > Soil drenching of 0.1 % carbendazin solution @ 5 liters per tree followed by soil application of 25 g Trichoderma + Pacelomyces + 5 kg FYM mixture per tree 2-3 months after carbendazin drenching. > Soil drenching of 0.1 carbendazim solution @ 10 liter per tree be done into two rows around wilted pomegranate trees and also increase the rate of Trichoderma + Pacelomyces application five times/tree, to avoid wilting of trees. > For growth of trichoderma in the soil, apply the FYM @ 2 kg / tree for every two months. > Soil application of neem cake @ 2 tonnes per hectare at the time of bahar treatment and after three months, apply 40 kg Phorate 10 G in the soil near collar region to control nematodas attack . > Paste application to the trunk of pomegranate plants with Lindane 0.05% or chloropyriphos 0.1% to be done for the control of shot hole borer.
