Increasing the frequency of irrigation (especially light irrigation) to cool the roots and reduce heat stress.
- Spraying trees with amino acids or even water alone, during cool hours of the day.
- Not removing weeds to maintain soil moisture and reduce surface temperature.
- Proper nutrition and use of fertilizers containing potassium, micronutrients (such as zinc and boron) to increase tree resistance
