Regular irrigation is required during establishment
of the plant. Once the plant is established it
requires weekly irrigation in summer and bi-weekly
in winter. Irrigation is also essential between
flowering and fruit ripening, as moisture stress
leads to flower and fruit drop and fruit cracking
at mature stage. During the bahar treatment regular
irrigation is given as indicated in the following
table-
