Planting
Land Preparation :
The field is ploughed to fine
tilth by giving four to five ploughing with a sufficient
interval between two ploughing. Planking should be done
for proper levelling.
The transplanting is done
on the flat land, ridges or in furrows depending on
climate and soil conditions. For
early planting, ridge method is suitable especially
in areas where the rains occur at the time of planting.
In saline soils, planting in furrows and in dry areas
transplanting on flat beds is recommended.
Spacing :
The planting distance may
vary according to variety, planting season and soil
conditions. The following distances are generally recommended
on the basis of maturity of varieties:
| Maturity |
Recommended spacing (cm) |
| Early |
45 x 45 or 60 x 30 |
| Mid |
60 x 45 |
| Late |
60 x 60 or 75 x 60 |
Method of Planting
Transplanting should be done
preferably in the morning or late evening. Before transplanting,
the roots of the seedlings are dipped in a solution
of Bavistin (2g/litre of water). Irrigation should be
given immediately after transplanting. In some parts
of the country, beds are first irrigated and then the
seedlings are transplanted.
