Agronomy

Flexible Agronomy	Seed Rate 250 - 300 g per acre. Suitability of the variety for the Area Agro Climatic Zone All India Selection of the field/land preparation practices Field should be well prepared free from weeds and well drainage facility. 1-2 deep ploughing, Soil should be exposed to sunlight, 3 to 4 rounds of harrows to reach fine tilt. Before final harrow, apply 8 to 10 MT well decomposed FYM/acre along with 250 gm Trichoderma for controlling soil born fungus Seed Treatment-rate of timing/ chemical Seeds are treated with Carbendazim 2g + Thiram 2 g per Kg of seeds. Sowing Time Summer, Rabi, Kharif Seed Rate/ Sowing method- line sowing with row to row and plant to plant distance/ direct sowing Seed Rate: 250 - 300 g per acre. Sowing: Direct in main field Spacing: Row to Row and Plant to Plant - 150 x 45 cm Fertilizer dose with timing Total N:P:K requirement @ 80:100:120 kg per acre. Dose & Timing: Basal Dose: Apply 50% N and 100% P, K as basal dose during final land preparation. Top Dressing: 25% N at 30 days after sowing and 25% N at 50 days after sowing Weed Control- Chemicals with doses and timing Timely weed removal is very important, need based hand weeding can be done to ensure healthy crop Diseases & Pest control- Chemicals with doses and timing Far effective crop control use following Insect and disease solutions: Powdery Mildew and Anthracnose - Apply Amistar (200ml/acre), Fruit rot - Apply Kavach @ 400g/acre and for any other diseases apply fungicide as per recommendation from the Department of Agriculture (plant protection) White Fly + Mites - Apply Pegasus @ 250g/acre Spodetara+ Fruit Borer -Apply Cigna @ 250 ml/acre Fruit Borer - Apply Proclaim @ 80g/acre and for any other Insects apply recommended Insecticides Irrigation Schedule Irrigation Frequency Depends upon - A.Soil type: Light soils need more frequency. Heavy soil needs less frequency. B.Crop Stage: Vegetative stage: maintain adequate moisture for development of roots. Flowering & fruiting - frequent and shallow irrigation. Harvesting - gradually reduce irrigation during harvesting C.Growing season: Summer - requires frequent irrigation. Winter-As against the summer season, in winter the irrigation frequency is longer. Rainy-very less frequency depending upon soil moisture Harvesting Full mature firm green fruits start harvesting at 60-70 days, later at 5 to 7 days intervals. Timely picking stimulates plants to produce more flowers

Weed Control- Chemicals with doses and timing

Timely weed removal is very important, need based hand weeding can be done to ensure healthy crop
Diseases & Pest control- Chemicals with doses and timing

Far effective crop control use following Insect and disease solutions:

Powdery Mildew and Anthracnose - Apply Amistar (200ml/acre),
Fruit rot - Apply Kavach @ 400g/acre and for any other diseases apply fungicide as per recommendation from the Department of Agriculture (plant protection)
White Fly + Mites - Apply Pegasus @ 250g/acre
Spodetara+ Fruit Borer -Apply Cigna @ 250 ml/acre
Fruit Borer - Apply Proclaim @ 80g/acre
and for any other Insects apply recommended Insecticides
Irrigation Schedule

Irrigation Frequency Depends upon -

A.Soil type: Light soils need more frequency. Heavy soil needs less frequency.

B.Crop Stage: Vegetative stage: maintain adequate moisture for development of roots. Flowering & fruiting - frequent and shallow irrigation. Harvesting - gradually reduce irrigation during harvesting

C.Growing season:
Summer - requires frequent irrigation.
Winter-As against the summer season, in winter the irrigation frequency is longer.
Rainy-very less frequency depending upon soil moisture
Harvesting

Full mature firm green fruits start harvesting at 60-70 days, later at 5 to 7 days intervals.
Timely picking stimulates plants to produce more flowers
