rrigation
Immediately after planting irrigate copiously. Irrigations may be given once in 10 days. Avoid water stagnation near the plant during monsoon and cyclone periods.
Manures and fertilizers per plant
Nitrogen has to be applied in two doses during March and October. However Farm yard manure, Phosphorous and Potash are to be applied in October.
Manures and Fertilizers I year (kg) Annual increase (kg) From 6th year (kg)
FYM 10.000 5.000 30.000
N 0.200 0.100 0.600
P2O5 0.100 0.025 0.200
k20 0.100 o.040 0.300
Manures are applied in the basin 70 cm away from the trunk and incorporated in the soil. Spray solution containing Sulphate of Zinc (0.5%), Manganese (0.05%), Iron (0.25%), Magnesium (0.5%), Boron (0.1%) and Molybdenum (0.003%) once in 3 months at the time of new flush production. In addition to that apply 50 g in each of Sulphate of Zinc, Manganese and Iron per tree per year
Plant protection
Leaf miner
Leaf minor can controlled by spraying Dichlorvos 76 WSC at the rate of 1 ml/lit or Dimethoate 30 EC 2 ml/lit or Fenthion 100 EC at the rate of 1 ml/lit or Monocrotophos 36 WSC at the rate of 1.5 ml/lit or 5% of neem seed kernel extract (NSKE) or neem cake extract or neem oil 3%.
Citrus root nematode
Citrus root nematode can be controlled by applying Pseudomonas fluorescens at 20g per tree at a depth of 15 cm and 50 cm away from the trunk for the management of slow decline due to the citrus root nematode (Tylenchulus semipenetrans). Soil application of Phorate @ 2 g followed by drenching with Metalaxyl + Mancozeb 72 WP @ 0.1% 50 ml/ cutting/ poly bag/ kg of nursery soil for citrus decline.
Little leaf malady
To control little leaf malady, spraying Zinc sulphate at 1.0 per cent solution + Teepol 1 ml/lit of solution at various stages.

Another way to plant orange seeds is to initially put them inside a bag and place them within the refrigerator at one to two degrees C for thirty days before planting. refrigerant the seeds will help them germinate at a quicker rate as compared to directly planting them however either of the 2 will build the seeds sprout.
