Seed Rate	100gm/ac
Plant Population	10000-12000/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	Kharif
Seed Rate/ Sowing method- line sowing with row to row and plant to plant distance/ direct sowing	Seed Rate: 80g - 100g per acre. Sowing: Prepare the raised bed of 180x90x15cm, for 1acre 10 to 12 beds are required. Nursery should be free from weeds and debris. Line sowing is recommended. istance between two row: 8-10 cm (4 fingers) apart, istance between seed to seeds :3-4 cm ( 2 fingers), Seeds are sown in line at 0.5-1.0 cm deep Transplanting: Transplanting should be done @ 25-30 days after sowing. Spacing: Row to Row and Plant to Plant - 75 x 45 cm or 90 x 45 cm
Fertilizer dose with timing	Total N:P:K requirement @ 120:60:80 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	For 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/acreFruit 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 soils 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 summer season, in winter the irrigation frequency is longer. Rainy - very less frequency depending up on soil moisture
