Hi

Soil/media
Optimum soil pH should be between 5.5 and 6.5 to get maximum efficiency in absorption of nutrients.
The salinity level of soil should not be more than 2 m/m. The soil should be
highly porous and well drained to have better root growth and better penetration of
roots.
Bed preparation
In general, gerberas are grown on raised of size 2 ft. width, 1.5 ft. height and
desirable length beds to assist in easier movement and better drainage. Pathways of
1 ft. in maintained after every bed. The beds for planting should be highly porous,
well drained and airy. Organic manure is recommended to improve soil texture and to
provide nutrition gradually. The material used for bed preparation is as under:
Soil - 35 brass
FYM - 80 brass
Rice husk - 10 brass
Sand - 4 brass
Add single super phosphate (0:20:0) @ 2.5 kg per 100 sq.ft. for better root
establishment and MgS04 @ 0.5 kg per 100 sq.ft. to take care of deficiency of Mg.


For the detailed cultivation of gerbera contact the nearest Krishi vigyan kendra or the horticulture department.

Ashwini
