After cultivation

• All side branches that emerge in the early stage of growth have to be removed. This will help a uniform smooth trunk development for a height of 1.5 –2 meter. On this trunk fruit buds will develop.

Irrigation

• Though jack is cultivated under rainfed conditions, it is very sensitive to drought. Hence, irrigation should be done depending on the type of soil, season etc. There should not be any moisture stress especially during flowering and fruit set.
• Too much of soil moisture will affect the quality of fruits. The flakes will develop an insipid taste when there is excess soil moisture. Hence, special care should be taken for drainage.

Intercropping

• During the pre-bearing age pulses can be raised as intercrop and dried leaves can be spread below the trees to serve as mulch for moisture conservation.
