- Intervention effect Early post-harvest pruning (up to 11th July) with 40 cm pruning intensity and 4% KNO3 sprays improved growth and flowering of litchi in the next season compared with control.
- Intervention effect The same treatment improved fruiting and yield of quality litchi fruits in the next season compared with control.
- Intervention effect The best treatment (early pruning, 40 cm, 4% KNO3) resulted in early sprouting.
- Intervention effect The best treatment (early pruning, 40 cm, 4% KNO3) resulted in maximum number of shoots.
- Intervention effect Harvesting was advanced where the 40 cm terminal shoot was removed on 29th June followed by 4% KNO3 spray on new shoots.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that a judicious combination of pruning time, intensity and KNO3 spray can increase fruit quality and extend the harvesting period in litchi.
