dear sirs, will you please,any one of you can explain us ,how to do BAHAR treatment for pomegranate plants in the month of august/september in ananthapur dist,ap.
Pomegranate flowers continuously when watered regularly. The plants under such conditions may
continue bearing flowers and bear small crop irregularly at different period of the year, which may not
be desirable commercially. To avoid this trees are given bahar treatment. In this treatment, the
irrigation is withheld two months prior to the bahar followed by light earthing up in the basin. This
facilitates the shedding of leaves. The trees are then medium pruned 40-45 days after withholding
irrigation. The recommended doses of fertilizers are applied immediately after pruning and irrigation is
resumed. This leads to profuse flowering and fruiting. The fruits are ready for harvest 4-5 months after
flowering.
