The recommended portion is 2-3 pieces per day, but 2-4 figs per day can be a good balance for most people.
Anjeer is high in fiber, polyphenols, antioxidants, and other essential nutrients. It may help maintain a healthy gut, fight constipation, regulate blood pressure, maintain healthy respiratory health, fight orthopedic problems, promote weight loss, and take care of your bones and heart.
Anjeer is rich in potassium, which can help control blood pressure. It also contains iron and estrogen, which can help control aging. Anjeer is packed with essential nutrients like vitamins A, E, and K, as well as minerals like potassium and magnesium.
Anjeer can boost energy, keep hormones in check, and are good for skin, hair, and nails. Mashed figs can even prevent acne.
Take anjeer tree seeds and soak them for one day in lukewarm water before planting in the soil. Soaking maximises the odds of germination. Always make sure to use a pot or planter with well-draining soil. Moreover, keep the soil moist and place the pot in an area with ample but indirect sunlight.

belongs to this group The best soil type for growing Fig trees is deep, non-alkaline clay loam soil. For Fig
growth, soil with good drainage and water capacity is necessary, especially alluvial clay
loam or medium black soils. Soil pH level should be about 6.0-6.5, and soil depth should
be about 1 meter. The ideal temperature for the growth of a Fig tree is 15 to 20°C. Fig trees
growing in mild tropical and sub-tropical regions exhibit specic characteristics such a
Although Figs are a sub-tropical species, mature Fig trees are completely cold, up to 15 or
20°C. Those who want to grow Figs outside the normal temperature range should plant
them in containers or try hard to protect them in winter. Fig trees can grow up to 15 to 30
feet high in the ground. The canopy can spread evenly. Fig plants must be planted in a
well-drained loom with plenty of organic matter but will tolerate weak soils on average.They tolerate drought once they are established, perhaps because of their wide and
extensive root system. The size, shape, skin color, and quality of the pulp are affected by
the climate. But standard Figs are grown in dry climates, especially when the fruit is
growing and maturing. High humidity with low temperatures usually results in poor fruit
distribution and quality.
Cut or remove any structures that shade the Figs. The Fig tree should be exposed to
direct sunlight for six hours daily.
Apply appropriate fertilizers.
Remove fast-growing trees and shrubs within a 25-foot circle around the Fig tree.
These trees and shrubs will Fight the Figs for water and nutrients, stopping their
growth.
Many techniques are used to propagate Figs, such as budding, hardwood cutting, air
layering, and grafting. However, the most commonly used method of commercial tree
propagation is hardwood cutting. The size of hardwood cuttings should be about 20-30
cm long and 0.5 to 0.7 cm thick. These cuttings should be taken from 1- to 2-year-old
shoots, especially in July-August.
These cuttings are then placed in a mixture of roots inside a polythene bag. The cuttings
can also be uprooted by dipping them in moist sawdust or another medium. It has also
been observed that cuttings placed under fog develop roots faster (say 3 to 4 weeks).
Propagation of Figs through seeds is not suitable for typing and is probably only used in
breeding programs.

Step 7: Fertilizer management for increasing fruit size
The growth of the shoot, which is less than 18 inches, indicates that fertilizer should be
applied. Apply to Fig trees 1 to 2 years old with a balanced fertilizer such as 8-8-8 per
plant at the rate of 8 ounces in early spring, mid-May, and mid-July. Well-established
plants can be fertilized once in early spring if needed.
Fertilizer should not be applied while planting. Instead, apply fertilizer around the plant
base at 1 foot from the crown. It is best to fertilize Fig trees only if they show signs of
slow growth or leaf yellowing, but there are some exceptions where Fig trees need
regular feeding. Potassium is essential during the growing season of the Fig tree.
Generally, Fig trees are not considered heavy food and do not require much fertilizer. You
will only need to fertilize the Fig tree when the below conditions occur;
Your soil loses nutrients.
The new growth of your tree seems to have stopped.
If these conditions apply to you, the age of your tree will determine how often and where
you will need to fertilize during the growing season. Fig trees need more nitrogen than
any other nutrient, and they can usually get all the nitrogen from the soil. Excess nitrogen
can lead to poor harvests, fruit splitting, and fruiting.
Figs respond very well to heavy fertilizers and fertilizers (better than most fruit trees).
However, be sure not to apply fertilizer too late in the growing season, as doing so
encourages new growth that cannot be hardened before winter. Growers who want to
grow Figs properly should use large amounts of fertilizer and nitrogen fertilizers such as
cottonseeds, soybeans, or alfalfa.Image Source
Figs can perform well in soil conditions that are unsuitable for other crops, but recent
studies have shown that nutrients affect yield and quality. The nutritional requirements
vary according to the variety, but an analysis of the leaves will reveal the fertilizer
requirements. Drying types are more sensitive to nitrogen and adversely affect fruit size
and color.

Step 9: Reasons for Fig tree did not bear fruit
Fig trees’ main reasons do not grow are poor soil, insufcient water, insect damage, low
sunlight, or excessive cooling. To revive a Fig tree, replant it with plenty of organic matter
in the soil and a drainage vessel. When the soil is 5-10% dry, water it, expose it to direct
sunlight for at least 6 hours, and protect it from cold winds.
Low soil nutrition – The Fig tree grows very slowly and does not bear fruit. The solution is
best to add good quality fertilizer to the soil for this problem. Mulch the Fig tree with
compost.
Improper feeding – The symptoms are that the Fig tree does not grow very slowly.
There is no fruit. For this, fertilize Fig trees with slow-release fertilizer or water-soluble
fertilizer

Step 10: Symptoms and control for fruit drop
There are many reasons why Fig fruits drop from trees. Below are the most common
causes of this Fig tree problem.
Lack of water causes Fig fruit drop – Drought or irregular watering is the most
common cause of Fig drop from fruit trees. To correct this, make sure your Figs are
getting enough water.
Lack of pollination – Another reason for a Fig tree not to bear fruit or fruit fall is lack of
pollination. Generally, if there is a lack of pollination, the Fig fruit will fall off when it is
still very small, as the tree has no reason to grow them as they will not produce seeds
without proper pollination. If you suspect that a lack of pollination is causing the Fig
fruit to fall from a tree outside, pesticides may be the culprit. Since many pesticides kill
all pests, whether benecial or not, be sure not to use pesticides so that you kill the
insects that inadvertently pollute the Fig tree.
The disease causes Figs to drop – Diseases of the Fig tree, such as Fig mosaic, leaf spot,
and pink limbs can also cause Figs to drop. Ensuring that the tree receives adequate
watering, fertilizing, and general care will help keep the tree healthy and prevent the
disease and Fig drops that accompany these diseases.
Good water management helps maintain tree health and vigor and reduces fruit dro
When they are dormant, prune your trees in the winter, signicantly increasing their fruit
size. First, remove any dead or broken branches with clean and sterile loopers or hand
pruners. After that, clean some branches from the middle of the tree. Finally, remove
vertically growing branches because they contain water.In Common Figs or Adriatic Figs, it has been observed that the tendency of crops varies
with the climatic conditions of a particular place. Therefore, there is a possibility of failure
of fruit set by a specic type in a specic area. The fruit set can be enhanced by spraying
25 ppm of NAA or IBA on the owers. Capri Figs should be planted for a practical fruit set
for Smyrna Figs. Growth regulators such as Gibberellic Acid (GA) by 30 ml/liter of water
promote proper shoot growth and prevent fruit drop in Fig.Some of the major pests that affect Fig trees are stem borers, beetles, leaf defoliators,
scale insects, and Fig ies. Major diseases affecting Fig trees are rust and leaf spots and
can be controlled using recommended chemical fungicides. Here are some treatments
for preventing diseases in Fig trees.Figs are harvested when ripe because ripening does not progress after picking. Some
varieties produce one crop of Figs each year, while others produce two crops. Figs usually
grow on a new stem every year and ripen months later. Most Fig trees take three to ve
years to mature.
Before that, Figs can be made with stems where each leaf is attached, but they will not
ripen. However, potted Figs can bear fruit quickly. Depending on the area, summer fruits
will start ripening in late August and will, depending on cultivation will, continue
between 4 and 8 weeks until the end of October. Harvesters usually pick about 100 fruits
per hour.
Fig cultivation can be done at temperatures ranging from 45 degrees to 50 degrees.
10 by 10 per 300 to 350 plants are planted in each unit. The time of planting depends on the arrangement of irrigation.
The cost of planting saplings in one acre is approximately around Rs 45 to Rs 50,000, which starts getting profit after 1 year and after 3 years it costs around 40 to 50 kilos of saplings, whose market price in the market is Rs 200 to Rs 300. kilo is it
