5.4.3.9. Flowering& Fruiting
Including Problem of unfruitfulness / Growth, fruiting habits and methods for inducing
fruitfulness
Aonla has a tendency of regular bearing. However, few cultivars especially Banarasi
is shy bearing cultivar due to less number of female flowers. In order to achieve flowering
and fruiting year after year, timely application of recommended doses is required. For better
fruiting cross compatible varieties should be planted together in aonla orchard.

5.4.3.10. Integrated Pest and Diseases Management including Biological control and
Food Safety
PLANT PROTECTION
The important insect- pests, their nature of damage in brief, and the strategies of
management on aonla are given in the following paragraphs, which are effective, economical,
and eco-friendly.
Pest and disease management
Aonla is generally free of any serious disease but the insect pest damage the crop
considerably, especially when environmental conditions are very conducive. The important
pests and diseases and available recommended control measures which were adopted for
aonla under high density planting systems are mentioned herewith. The suitable, effective and
economical IPM strategies for boosting up the production potential of the aonla crop under
high density planting system was developed based on seasonality and their peak period of
occurrence. They are as under:
Peak period of activities of the sucking pests (aphid and mealy bug) is February -March
and July-August for defoliators and borers. Symptoms and nature of damage are described in
brief.
Aphids (Cerciaphis emblica): Nymph and adults suck the cell sap from tender shoots, leaves,
and devitalize the plants. The exude honeydew on which sooty mould develops.
Mealy bug (Caloptilia vastator): Nymph and adults suck the cell sap from tender shoots,
leaves, and devitalize the plants.
Leaf twister (Caloptilia acidula): The caterpillar on hatching twists the leaf and feed within.
In severe infestation plants show sickly symptoms.
Hairy caterpillar (Euproctis flava): The caterpillar on hatching feed voraciously and
gregariously on tender leaf and defoliates the plants. The larvae later on migrate to entire
plant and feed on leaves leading to marked defoliation.
Shoot gall maker (Betousa stylophora): The caterpillar on hatching enters into the
shoots and feed within causing a gall on the tender shoots.
Fruit borer (Virochola isocrates, Meridarchis scyrodes): The caterpillar bore into to
the fruits and feed within causing premature drop of the fruits during monsoon
season. Maximum damage is caused during July and August.
Bark eating caterpillar (Inderbela terraonis Moore): The larvae bore usually at the joint
between twig and main stem and tunnel straight downward. Presence of silken web
comprising of excreta of larvae indicates the damage.
Management strategies of Pests
1-Orchard sanitation is effective for bark eating caterpillars and borers.
2-Inject petrol, Dichlorovos or CS2 and plug the hole with mud for effective control of bark
eating caterpillars.
3-Foliar application with Dimethoate (0.05%) or Monocrotophos followed by Endosulfan
(0.07%) at tri-weekly interval control the overall pest effectively. However, based on the
seasonality and their sequence in occurrence, insecticidal schedules involving tri-weekly
application of Dimethoate ( 0.05%) alternatively followed by NSKE (5%) at 10 days interval
along with Bavistin (0.1%) commencing from fruit set to fruit development has been found
significantly better in reducing the incidence of borer and fruit rot in aonla.
Diseases
Rust (Ravenaliia emblicae): Rust characterized by brown or brown to black, pustules on
fruits in concentric ring also infects aonla. Spray with Wettable Sulphur (02%) or Mancozeb
75 w p (0.2%) manages the disease effectively.
Anthracnose (Colletotrichum state of Glomerella cingulata): Characterized by circular
depressed, blackish brown spots on fruits with concentric rings having the center bearing
81
dark coloured fungal mass. For managing disease, spray with Mancozeb 75 w. p. (0.2%) or
Cuman –L (0.3%),or Captaf (0.2%) or Chlorothalonil (0.2%) or Copper Oxychloride 50 w p
at 0.3% concentration practices deep plugging and healthy cultivation.
Penicillium fruit rot (Penicillium indicum): A post-harvest disease characterized by circular
to irregular water soaked blotch with bluish grey fungal mass in the center with sporadic
orange-red islands on fruits surface.
1. Collect and destroy the infected fruits.
2. Avoid injury to fruits while harvesting, handling or transporting or storing.
3. Before storage, dip the fruits in 10% Brine solution.
4. Pre harvest sprays (one week before harvesting) with Blitox, Bavistin or KH2PO4.

7.2. FOOD SAFETY MEASURES
7.2.1.Pre-Planting Measures
Activity Action taken /Proposed
to be in the project
1. Site selection
Land or site for fruits and vegetable production should be
selected on the basis of land history, previous manure
applications and crop rotation.
a) The field should be away from animal housing, pastures or
barnyards.
b) Farmers should make sure that livestock waste should not
enter the produce fields via runoff or drift.
2. Manure handling and field application
Livestock manure can be a valuable source of nutrients, but
it also can be a source of human pathogens if not managed
correctly.
a) Proper and thorough composting of manure, incorporating it
into soil prior to planting, and avoiding top-dressing of
plants are important steps toward reducing the risk of
microbial contamination.
3. Manure storage and sourcing
a) Manure should be stored as far away as practical from areas
where fresh produce is grown and handled.
b) Physical barriers or wind barriers should be erected to
prevent runoff and wind drift of manure.
c) Manure should be actively compost so that high
temperature achieved by well-managed, aerobic compost
can kill most harmful pathogens.
4. Timely application of manure
Manure should be applied at the end of the season to all
planned vegetable ground or fruit acreage, preferably when
soils are warm, non-saturated, and cover-cropped. If
manure is being applied at the start of a season, then the
manure should be spread two weeks before planting,
preferably to grain or forage crops.
5. Selection of appropriate crop
Farmers should avoid growing root and leafy crops in the
year that manure is applied to a Field. Manure should be
applied to perennial crops in the planting year only. The
long period between application and harvest will reduce the
risks.
114
7.2.2. Production Measures
1. Irrigation water quality
Ideally, water used for irrigation or chemical spray should be
free from pathogen. However, potable water or municipal
water is not feasible for extensive use for crop production.
a) Hence, surface water used for irrigation should be
quarterly tested in laboratory for pathogen.
b) Farmers can filter or use the settling ponds to
improve water quality.
c) Fruit and vegetable crops should not be side
dressed with fresh or slurry manure. If side
dressing is required, well composted or well-aged
(greater than one year) manure should be used for
the application.
2. Irrigation methods
a) Drip irrigation method should be used, whenever
possible to reduce the risk of crop contamination
because the edible parts of most crops are not
wetted directly.
b) Plant disease levels also may be reduced and
water use efficiency is maximized with this
method.
3. Field sanitation
a) Farmers should stay out of wet fields to reduce the
spread of plant or human pathogens.
b) Tractors, plant, machinery and equipments that were
used in manure handling should be cleaned prior to
entering produce fields.
c) Animals, including poultry or pets should be allowed to
roam in crop areas for pest control
4. Worker facilities and hygiene
a) Farmers should get proper training to make them
understand the relationship between food safety and
personal hygiene. These facilities should be
monitored and enforced.
b) Ideally, farm workers should be provided clean, well-
maintained and hygienic toilet facilities around the
farming areas separately for the male and female.
7.2.3. Harvest
1. Clean harvest aids
a) Bins and all crop containers have to washed
and rinsed under high pressure. All crop
containers should be sanitized before harvest.
b) Bins should be properly covered, when not in
used to avoid contamination by birds and
animals.
2. Worker hygiene and training
a) Good personal hygiene is particularly
115
important during the harvest of crops. Sick
employees or those with contaminated hands
can spread pathogens to produce.
b) Employee awareness, meaningful training and
accessible restroom facilities with hand wash
stations encourage good hygiene.
7.2.4. Post-Harvest Handling
1. Worker hygiene
a) Hands can contaminate fresh fruits and
vegetables with harmful microbes
b) Packing area should be cleaned and sanitized.
c) Supply liquid soap in dispensers, potable
water, and single-use paper towels for hand
washing.
d) Packing area should be cleaned and sanitized.
Supply liquid soap in dispensers, potable
water, and single-use paper towels for hand
washing.
e) Workers should be properly educated about
the importance of restroom use and proper
hand washing.
f) Encourage proper use of disposable gloves on
packing lines.
g) Sick employee should not be given food-
contact jobs.
2. Monitor wash water quality
a) Potable water should be preferably used in all
washing operations.
b) Clean water should be maintained in dump
tank by sanitizing and changing water
regularly.
c) Use chlorinated water and other labeled
disinfectants to wash fresh produce.
3. Sanitize packinghouse and packing operations
a) Loading, staging, and all food contact surfaces
should be cleaned and sanitized at the end of
each day.
b) Exclude all animals, especially rodents and
birds from the packinghouse.
c) Wash, rinse and sanitize the packing line belts,
conveyors, and food contact surfaces at the
end of each day to avoid buildup of harmful
microorganisms.
d) Packaging material should be stored in a clean
area
4. Pre-cooling and cold storage
a) Proper cleanliness of the transportation vehicles
should be ensured before loading.
b) Farmers have to make sure that fresh fruits and
116
vegetables are not shipped in trucks which have
carried live animals or harmful substances.
c) If these trucks must be used, they should be washed,
rinsed, and sanitized them before transporting fresh
produce.
d) For traceability norms, it must be ensured that each
package leaving the farm can be traced to field of
origin and date of packing
