Answer 1

Treat the tree with neem oil for the fungus. Neem oil (which to my understanding is widely available in India) will kill both pests and fungus and is safe for people. I use neem oil in my own garden and it works well.

For the fertilizer, use a balanced fertilizer (e.g. 8-8-8 or 10-10-10).
