Measures to protect flowers and fruits from falling: –

  • Plant plants according to the temperature. Protect the plants from exposure to direct sunlight in high temperatures. Keep the crop temperature between 21 to 30 degrees.

  • Water the plants deeply. So that their roots can get a sufficient amount of water.
