While preparing the mixture, soil, cow dung, vermicompost, ash, TSP, carbofuran, zinc, and boron should be mixed. Half of the MOP should be given while preparing the mixture. Half of the urea and half of the DAP should be applied 50 days after planting, and the remaining half of the urea and MOP should be applied equally in two installments in the sacks after 80 days and 110 days respectively. Half of the DAP fertilizer should be applied 65 days after planting and the remaining half of the DAP fertilizer should be applied after 130 days.

The bed should be raised above the drainage soil bed so that rainwater does not accumulate. 2 rows should be placed in each bed in such a way that there is a distance of 1 meter between one row and the other. 2 sacks should be placed side by side 6-8 inches apart in each row.

Seed size and planting method

One seed per 40-50 grams of soil should be planted 4-5 inches deep in the soil. After planting, it should be covered with soil.
