Intercropping:
Plough the interspaces after the receipt of rain and
raise either groundnut or pulses or minor millets till the trees
reach bearing age.
Irrigation:
Normally grown as a rainfed crop. Irrigation once in
a week from flowering to fruit maturity stage is good to
increase the yield.
Training and pruning:
Develop the trunk to a height of 1 m by removing
low lying branches. The dried twigs and branches should be
removed every year.
