MANAGING SOIL FERTILITY

Continuous application of farmyard manure year after year increases the yield of green fruits. Farmyard manure is applied @ 25 tonnes/ha. Neem cake is applied @ 250 kg/ha and groundnut cake is applied @ 80–100 kg/ha. Two kilograms each of biofertilisers like azospirillum and phosphobacteria are used.
