  • Weed Control- Chemicals with doses and timing

    Timely weed removal is very important, need  based hand weeding can be done to ensure healthy crop
  • Diseases & Pest control- Chemicals with doses and timing

    "For effective crop control apply fungicide as per recommendation from the Department of Agriculture (plant protection) to control Damping off, Downey Mildew and other fungal diseases. Apply recommended insecticide to control sucking pest, fruit fly and any other insects"

    Irrigation Schedule

    "Irrigation Frequency Depends upon - A. Soil type: Light soils need more frequency. Heavy soils needs less frequency. B. Crop stage: Vegetative stage: maintain adequate moisture for development of roots. Flowering & fruiting - frequent and shallow irrigation. Harvesting - gradually reduce irrigation during harvesting C. Growing season: Summer — requires frequent irrigation. Winter — As against Summer season, in winter the irrigation frequency is longer. Rainy — very less frequency depending up on soil moisture" Harvest :

    Harvest the fruit at the time of tender pods. Picking starts by 60 days after sowing –depending on season / climate. Picking is done generally at an interval of 10 – 12 days.

    • Expected Yield of the variety

      Average yield: 7 – 9 MT /acre (depending on season  and cultural practice
