Ber (Z. mauritiana) is a popular lac-host among the farmers. Besides lac crop lac growers also harvest fruits from this host. Pruning is pre requisite operation in lac culture. Present study examines how pruning time and lac infestation affects growth and fruit yield of ber trees. Results show that the number of fruits produced was significantly lower in trees carrying lac. The reduction was 68.9 and 21.4% on branches with and without lac encrustation, respectively, while number of secondary branches reduced by 33.9 and 12.6%, respectively. Late pruning (May) resulted in reduction in length and diameter of branches compared to pruning in February. Results also reveal that allocation of assimilate for growth and development of fruits and lac insect is more from the harbouring branch than that contributed by central reserve pool.
