When the temperature starts to rise in the month of February in Bihar, then flowers start coming in the garden of Litchi. When about 8-10 % of flowers come in the garden, bee boxes should be kept at the rate of @ 10-15 boxes / hectares, by doing this, pollen in Litchi's orchard is good and yields good too. When the flowers in the garden of Litchi are well fruitful, the bees stop coming to the garden. As long as there are bees in the garden, we should not use any agricultural chemicals. Fruits in the garden do not fall, for this planofix @ 1 ml medicine / 3 liters of water should be sprayed. Before irrigation, about 500 grams of urea, 250 grams muret of potash / tree plate should be made, then light irrigation should be done continuously. When the fruit is equal to the grains of peas, then you should use neem based pesticides. Where there is more problem of fruit piercing insects, imidaclopreed should be dissolved in @ 1 ml medicine / 2 liters of water and sprinkled in 10 days interval. Where there is more problem of litchi fruit ripping, there is Borex @ 4 ga.
It is good to dissolve in / litre water and spray two at a interval of 10 to 15 days.
Litchi starts cooking around 20-25 May in Bihar. Litchi should always be done between 4-8 am in the morning, sorting, boxing etc. all things should be done in a cold place. If possible, send it to the market for sale in cold-cold. If possible, use a air conditioned vehicle.
