Avoid 6 Mistakes When Making Plant Basins

News18 Hindi · india

Creating a basin (thaonla) around fruit plants is crucial for watering roots and applying fertilizer. However, mistakes can harm plants. Experts advise against building basins too close to the stem to prevent rot and fungal infections. Avoid digging too deep, as this can damage active surface roots, especially in older trees. Ensure water doesn't directly hit the stem in drip irrigation systems. Proper basin size, adjusted for plant age, optimizes water and nutrient uptake.
