Selection of the field/land preparation practices
|
Field should be well prepared free
from weeds and well drainage facility. 1-2 deep ploughing, |
Seed Treatment-rate of timing/ chemical
|
Seeds are treated with Carbendazim 2g
+ Thiram 2 g per Kg of seeds. |

Seed Rate/ Sowing method- line sowing with row to row
and plant to plant distance/ direct sowing
|
Seed Rate: 80g - 100g per acre.
Prepare the raised bed of 180x90x15cm,
for 1acre 10 to 12 beds are required.
The nursery should be free from weeds
and debris. Line sowing is recommended.
Distance between two rows: 8-10 cm (4
fingers) apart,
Distance between seed to seeds: 3-4 cm
( 2 fingers),
Seeds are sown in line at 0.5-1.0 cm
deep
Transplanting: Transplanting should be
done 25-30 days after sowing.
Spacing: Row to Row and
Plant to Plant - 75 x 45 cm or 90 x 45
cm |
Fertilizer dose with timing
|
Total N:P:K requirement @ 120:60:80 kg
per acre.
Basal Dose: Apply 50% N and 100% P, K
as basal dose during final land preparation.
Top Dressing: 25% N at 30 days after
sowing and 25% N at 50 days after sowing. |
Weed Control- Chemicals with doses and timing
|
Timely weed removal is very important,
need-based hand weeding can be done to ensure a healthy crop. |
Diseases
& Pest control- Chemicals with doses and timing
|
For effective
crop control use the following Insect and disease solutions:
Powdery Mildew and Anthracnose - Apply
Amistar (200ml/acre),
Fruit rot - Apply Kavach @ 400g/acre
and for any other diseases apply fungicide as per recommendation from the
Department of Agriculture (plant protection)
White Fly + Mites - Apply Pegasus @
250g/acre
Spodetara+ Fruit Borer - Apply Cigna @
250 ml/acre Fruit Borer - Apply Proclaim @
80g/acre |
