Dear sri Nishant
The following are cultivation particulars of pomegranate:
Pomegranate
Pomegranate is an important fruit crop of India. Presently it is being cultivated in 0.11 million ha area with a total production of 0.79 million tonnes. India occupies top position among pomegranate growing countries in the world, producing 50% of the total world production. Maharashtra is the leading pomegranate producing state having an area of around 88,500 ha followed by Karnataka (12,700 ha). Pomegranate is also grown as wild in forests of Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh and 400 and 100 tonnes of Anardana is marketed from Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh, respectively
In MP state the area under pomegranate cultivation is not significant now Govt of MP is encouraging cultivation .
Varieties
Ganesh, Muskat, Jyothi, Jaloreseedless, Jodhapur red, Dholka, Seedless, Arakta etc.
2.Yield /acre
From 4th year onwards each tree yields 100-150 fruits.
3.Water requirement :
Depending up on the prevailing temperature drip iirrigation method improves growth. Soil mulching is necessary.
Irrigation requirements vary with type of crop. For Mrig bahar crop first irrigation in the middle of May followed by regular irrigation until monsoon sets in. Thereafter in post monsoon period copious and regular irrigation is essential for better development of fruits and to avoid Fruit cacking. For other crops weekly irrigation in Summer and bi-weekly irrigation in winter should suffice.
4. Density"
5x2 metres spacing can accomodate high density 400 trees per acre.Since pomegranate plants take 4-5 years to come into good bearing low growing vegetables, pulses or green manure crops can be taken up as intercrops.
In subtropics, tree flowers in spring while in tropics (central and south India) it flowers in three distinct phases with maximum intensity in rainy season. Spring flowers give fruits in summer when the demand is maximum but the quality is poor. Therefore, efforts should be directed to avail of the rainy season flowers (Mirg bahar) so that fruiting period coincides with the maximum water availability time and the crop is taken without much irrigation. For "Mirg Bahar" treatment, withholding of water from December-May results in suppression of growth. Trees usually shed leaves by March end and remain dormant up to May. Then the field is ploughed, manures and fertilizers are applied and first light irrigation is given in the middle of May and there after one or two light irrigation are given until rain sets in. Trees put up new growth, flower and fruit with crop availability in October - November.
