Seedlings from the breeding method
Before leaving for flowering plants to choose from 10 to 15 cm long pieces of cut. Leaves, leaving only the tip of the stem sticks to the bottom of the planting should be used to remove the remaining leaves. Before planting to enhance rooting of stem sticks herbal natural life force, fertilizer, bio-fertilizer solution containing 10 percent of the 20 minute walk back to thinking. Polythene bags filled with soil mix after the planting of the stem pieces and pour water twice daily to keep in shady areas. Sixty days, the rooted seedlings are ready for planting.
With the exception of the poly malaippaci budded seedling production
Planting
45 cm row to row and plant cetikkuc vittac root plants should be transplanted in 45 cm intervals. And 6 months after planting, the plant should be cut maiyattantai. By doing so, the plant grows well in the lateral branches. |

Water cannon
Drought tolerance is also suitable for planting in dry land. Green leaf with water in dry periods payccutalin get higher yield.
Practices
Basal FYM 50 t / ha, neem cake @ 1 t / ha, the natural life force Compost 5 t / ha and vermin-compost compost 5 t / ha can be applied as a seedling natumpolutu. Phosphobacterium bio-fertilizers, bio-fertilizers and inoculant and 5 kg per ha as basal dose required.
Application of bio-fertilizers
பாஸ்போபாக்டீரியம் and supplying fertilizers, such as from the second year after planting survival rate of 5 kg to 30 kg per hectare should be applied with FYM. The solution of 3 per cent per year, 5 times more pancakavyam telippatin the leaves will increase the quality and yield.
Post Treatment
A month later weeding nut boiling mud. 4 or 5 times per year need deadheading. The solution of 3 percent to 5 times a year Panchagavya foliar spray to spray at 10 days interval. Tacakavya 3 percent solution is to spray 3 times per year. Vermi compost 10 percent distilled water solution 3 times per year with a foliar spray to spray on a monthly interval. |
