Suitable Climate and soil for Cabbage Cultivation

24/09/2018Posted on

Suitable Climate and soil for Cabbage Cultivation:-

  • In India, cabbage is grown in large areas having a cool and moist climate.
  • A temperature range  of 15- 21°C is considered as optimum for growth and head formation of the crop.
  • Cultivation of cabbage is done mainly on sandy to heavy soils rich in organic matter.
  • Early crops prefer light soil while late crops thrive better on heavier soils due to retention of  moisture.
  • On heavy soils, plants grow more slowly and the keeping quality is improved.
  • A pH range of 6.0-6.5 is considered as optimum for growing cabbage.
  • Plants growing in saline soils are prone to diseases.

Sowing time, Planting and Seed Rate of Garlic

22/09/2018Posted on

Sowing time, Planting and Seed Rate of Garlic:-

  • Cloves are sown in september-November in central India.
  • Selection of cloves is important for garlic planting.

  • With hardneck garlic, the remainder of the stem acts as a handy lever for separating the cloves.
  • Big cloves (>1.5g) should be selected for planting. Small, diseased and damaged cloves should be rejected.
  • Seed rate for garlic is 400-500 kg/ha.
  • Selected cloves should be planted vertically 2 cm below soil surface with plant to plant spacing of 10 cm and row to row spacing of 15 cm.
