hello Sir,
It is grown in wide range of soils. For economic returns, a soil with moderate fertility is preferred. In one acre, 1000 plants can be planted at a spacing of
2m x 2m. Pits of 30x 30 x30 cm may be dug and filled with soil and organic (500 gm FYM + 100 g Neem cake+100 g super) before planting.
For better establishment of seedlings, monsoon seasons may be preferred for planting (June-July, October-November).
Seedling drenched with cow dung and urine solution (5:1) @ 200 ml / plant found to perform better. Irrigatin at fortnightly intervals is necessary for continuous flowering and growth.
