Water young plants every 8–10 days after the monsoon and every 5–7 days in summer. Use a double-ring basin so water never touches the trunk; avoid stagnation; use drip for new plantings. Per plant — 1st year: FYM 10 kg, N 200 g, P 100 g, K 100 g; increase every year by FYM 5 kg, N 100 g, P 25 g, K 40 g; from the 6th year: FYM 30 kg, N 600 g, P 200 g, K 300 g. Apply N in March and October, and FYM, P and K in October; Pseudomonas 20 g and VAM 200 g per plant can be added with the FYM.
