what crops can be grown in the month of january 2013 in cuddapah district of AP?
Hello sir
Sunflower is the best crop u can go for. as sunflower is a 3months crops u can plan for red gram after that or groundnut to keep ur soil fertile.
Sunflower need very little care except that for weeding.
Irrigation can be done on the status of soil.
U vll have to arrange labours first to do field layout, sowing, earthing up, irrigation and finally harvesting.
The dormancy of a sunflower seed after harvesting is just 28-30 days at this time other operation can be carried out such as seed winnowing, cleaning etc.
It can be grown at any season of the year.
