We Provide Stevia Cultivation materials like Stevia plants, Vermicompost, Neem Cake, Trichoderma, other medicinal herb cultivation and Vermicompost unit with 100% buy back agreement.
ADVANTAGES OF STEVIA:
1. It is a natural product; The sweetener contains absolutely no calories.
2. The leaves can be used in their natural state also.
4. The plant is non-toxic
5. The leaves as well as the pure the sweetener extract can be cooked
6. No aftertaste or bitterness
7. Non-fermentative
8. Flavour enhancing
9. Clinically tested and frequently used by humans without negative effect
10. Ideal and non-addictive sweetener for children
USES
• STEVIA is safe for diabetics, as it does, not affect blood sugar levels.
• STEVIA does not have the neurological or renal side effects of some of the artificial sweeteners.
• STEVIA possess anti-fungal and anti-bacterial property also in addition to its other versatile uses. It can be safely used in herbal medicines, tonics for diabetic patients and also in the daily usage products like mouthwashes, and tooth pastes.
• Mild STEVIA leaf tea offers excellent relief for an upset stomach.

SOIL
It grows well in sandy loam soils with an ample supply of water. It prefers acidic to neutral soil with a PH range of 6.5-7.5 for its best growth. Saline soils should be avoided as this plant is susceptible to water logged conditions.
CLIMATE
It is a semi-humid, subtropical plant and can grow in the temperature ranges between 4o C-48o C . An annual average temperature of 31o C with a rainfall of 140 cm per year has been found optimum for its good growth. It shows good seed germination when subjected to light and warm conditions. Hence, a long growing season, minimal frost, high light intensities and warm temperature favors higher leaf production. STEVIA is a short day plant, but the concentration of the sweetener in the leaves increases when the plants are grown under long day conditions.

LAND PREPARATION
The land sites are plowed and or cultivated twice to prepare a fairly smooth, firm-planting surface.
CULTIVATION PROPAGATION
STEVIA plants can be propagated from cuttings or seeds or by tissue culture. As the seed germination is very poor and seedlings are very slow to establish, it is generally propagated clonally through cuttings. For vegetative propagation, stem cuttings of 15 cm length taken from leaf axils of the current year’s growth have been given better results.
The best months for propagation are February-March. The cuttings will be ready for transplanting after 25-30 days of rooting.
PLANTING
Depending on different climatic conditions, STEVIA is cultivable throughout the year except for times when it is extremely hot or cold. STEVIA plug plants are planted into the field on 75 cm bed with row spacing of 45 cm at 45 cm height with a total plant density in the order of 40,000 plants per Acre.
FERTILIZATION
The plant appears to have low nutrient requirements; however a soil test should be conducted. Good organic manure must be applied time to time
WEED CONTROL
This crop also requires hand hoeing and weeding. After every 2 months there must be weeding
PESTS
Application on neem based product will manage the disease and pests.
HARVESTING
Time of harvesting depends on land variety and growing season. Generally, it can be scheduled when plants are 40-60 centimeters in height. Shorter days induce flowering. Optimum yield (biomass) and the sweetener quality and quantity is best just prior to flowering. The plant will tolerate very low temperatures.
DRYING
Drying of the woody stems plus the soft green leaf material is completed immediately after harvesting, utilizing a drying wagon or a kiln. Depending on weather conditions and density of loading, it generally takes 24 to 48 hours to dry STEVIA at 40°C to 50°C. An estimated 1200 kg/Acre dry green leaves are obtained from three-four cutting of every year. It is cultivated up to 5 years after a one time plantation.
THRESHING
Immediately following drying, a specially designed thresher/separator is necessary to separate dry STEVIA leaves from its stem.
Farm development:-
Still the farm is in open location and it is undeveloped. First of all the farm will be develop then after it will require the fencing. There is no availability of the water so the water source will be required for the irrigation water.
COST OF CULTIVATION OF STEVIA
STEVIA is newly introduced new crop with the regular earning. As the first cutting of the crop start after three months of the sowing and there is regular cutting after every 2-3 Months as per climatic condition. The crop is at high demand as it is only source of natural sweetener. The crop is the first choice of the sugar free industry. The processing plants have also been established in the country. The crop is planted for five years. After the fifth year the marginal return start to decline so it is best to uproot crop and replant it.
COST OF CULTIVATION OF STEVIA FOR ONE ACRE LAND:
Sowing time : Whole year (In irrigated land)
Soil : Good Quality Soil PH level recommended by Expert 6-8
Total Plantation time: 5 years
Irrigation System : Drip Watering (More Effective)
