- The seeds are sown in the nursery bed. Raised beds of size 3*6 m. and 10-15 cm. in height are prepared.
- About 70 cm. distance is kept between two beds to carry out intercultural operations.
- The surface of nursery beds should be smooth and well leveled.
- Well decomposed FYM @ 8-10 kg/square meter should be added at the time of bed preparation.
- Raised beds avoid the problem of water logging in heavy soils.
- To avoid mortality of seedlings due to damping off, drench the beds three weeks before sowing with carbendazim 50% WP @ 15-20 gm/ 10 liter of water. OR Apply Thiophanate Methyl 70% WP @ 0.5 gram/meter2
- To avoid mortality of seedlings due to insect attack, Apply Thiamethoxam 25% WG @ 0.3 gram/meter2
