PLANTING:-
- Do the planting in the evening hours during hot season.
Split - Before planting put 8-10 gms of Furadon (Carbofuron 3G) in the small pit made for the root ball and then put the plant in the center of the big pit.
- Avoid deep planting.
- Do not press the soil too much around the plant.
- Irrigate the plants immediately after planting.
- Sowing of Sesbania or Sun hemp seeds at a little distance around the plant during summer season is beneficial as it reduces the heat and weed growth. After 45 days the plants could be mulched in soil.

Sir,
ReplyDeleteDo we start counting the "age" of the plants from the start of tissue culture or from the day they are planted?
Regards,
Raghu
