IMPORTANCE OF FRUIT TREE PRODUCTION

-Water is important for plants just it is

important for all living creatures on the
planet. Plants can make virtually everything
they need from water and air with a few
nutrients that those roots absorb from the
soil. The plant uses sunlight to split water into
hydrogen and oxygen. The plants uses the
hydrogen to make sugar from carbon dioxide
in the air. Both plants and people use oxygen
in the air to burn sugar and make energy to
live.
 -Soil is the primary source of water
and nutrients from the plants. Soil also
provides the physical anchor so that
plants can stand upright. Roots of
plants absorbs phosphorus, nitrogen,
potassium, and other nutrients form

development of plants. Trees and plants
grow in different climatic conditions such as

sunshine, rainfall, humidity and wind.
 PROPER GERMINATION OF SEEDS

a mound of soil and use a stick to furrows for the

by sucking the plant sap. Because of this, the
leaves curl, further weakening the plant.

infested by this pest. It lays its eggs on the fruit, and
thus damages them.
 Beetles – They usually attack injured or weakened
woody plants.
