Suitable sowing Time for Watermelon

The time of sowing watermelon is from November to March.
After the November to December sowing time, the plant should be protected from frosting. This is the reason most sowing is done from January to March.
In the hilly areas, watermelons are sown from March to April.

One summer deep plowing followed by two or three harrowing with disc or tines and two or three planking should be given to prepare a well-pulverized seedbed.
Suitable time of sowing
Dryland:- Mid October to the first week of November.
Semi Irrigated:- First fortnightly of November.
Irrigated:- Second fortnightly of November.
Irrigated (Late):- Second fortnightly of December.

Toria or mustard should be sown from the mid to the last week of September. Sowing of sarson and rai must be completed in the last week of October.
Spacing
Generally, toria is planted in rows 30 cm apart while sarson and rai are sown in rows 45 cm apart. Thinning is done three weeks after sowing to maintain a plant to plant distance of 10 to 15 cm.

Cloves are sown in September-November in central India.
The selection of cloves is important for garlic planting.
Individual cloves from seed garlic bulbs should be separated but not long before planting.
Twist off the outer skins and take the cloves apart without breaking the basal plate of the cloves, as that makes them unusable for 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.
The seed rate for garlic is 160-200 kg/acre.
Selected cloves should be planted vertically 2 cm below the soil surface with the plant to plant spacing of 10 cm and row to row spacing of 15 cm.
