Climate: Garlic love mild climates(no extreme cool or sun) without rains after bulb formation. It will adapted to a wide range of temperatures(12C to 20C). Soil: Garlic grow better in loose, loamy soil which are rich organic matter rather than heavy clay soils with pH range between 6.5 to 7. Seed: 200-250 cloves per acre. Duration: 120-130 days. Spacing: Space the plants 6 to 8 inches separated in the line. Enable 12 to 18 inches between columns or space garlic cloves 6 to 8 inches separated every direction on beds. Land Preparation: When your seeds are planted in your nursery, begin to set up your land. Plough your soil. Separate all pieces of soil because garlic prefer loose soils. Mix well decayed compost. Smooth the soil surface. http://www.ecosecretz.com/2017/12/5-effective-ways-to-enrich-soil.html Sowing techniques: Garlic is raised by different strategies, depending upon the circumstances of the farmers.

Climate: Onions love mild climates(no extreme cool or sun) without rains after bulb formation. It will adapted to a wide range of temperatures(12C to 25C). What amount of sun do onions need to develop? Onions favor full sun, abundant soil dampness, and organic rich, well drained soil. They will survive if planted in partial shade, however the onions will be tiny and the plant will be more defenseless to bugs and diseases. Onions can't develop in full shade. Soil: Onions grow better in loose, loamy soil which are rich organic matter rather than heavy clay soils. Seed: 1-4kg per acre. What number of onions would you be able to grow on a one acre of land? Cultivators usually plant 75,000 to 120,000 onions for each acre of land in single columns with 2 inch between plants in the line and 24 inch between lines. normal yield of 70-100 Quinta per acre. What number of seeds are in a gram? Onion    250 - 400 seeds/1g,400,000 seeds/1kg Duratio...

Climate: Cauliflower love cool and moist (18C-20C) conditions. Optimum temperature to give higher productivity is 18C. It is frost and snow tolerant, can withstand upto -10C. August,September or October is best time to grow in India. Above 25C plant won't die but stops growth. It need atleast 6hours sunlight to grow properly. Soil: Cultivation of Cauliflower is done mainly on sandy to heavy soils rich in organic matter. Early harvests favour light soil while late yields flourish better on heavier soils because of maintenance of dampness. On substantial soils,plants develop all the more gradually and the keeping quality is progressed. In summer grow Cauliflower in heavy soil because of water holding capacity in winter prefer sandy soil which drain water quickly. A pH range of 6.0-7.0 is considered as optimum for growing Cauliflower. Plants growing in saline soils are prone to diseases.Grow Cauliflower in soil rich in organic matter that is well-drained. Cauliflower  grows be...

Climate: Cabbage love cool and moist (15C-21C) conditions. Optimum temperature to give higher productivity is 15C-16C. It is frost and snow tolerant, can withstand upto -10C.

Session in Whatsapp group on !st April 2018 by Shri Ravi SankarTekuru  This veggie controls diabetes, excess heat,cancer, piles, cough etc. Now a days it became popular in markets. In Telugu it is called as Adavi-kakara or Agakara. Climate:  Teasel Gourd love light warm moist (25C to 30C). Don't love cool or very low temperatures. But it can sustain low temperatures. Requires warm climate and humidity to grow rigorously. Soil:  Loves well drained soils like sandy loam soils with high percentage of organic matter. Give high yields in soils which have pH 5.5 to 7.1( slight acidic to near neutral is best 7 pH).Can adapt in wide range of soils. Seed: Approx 1-2 kg per acre seed required. But we can't predict how many male/female come out of seeds.Better idea is going with tubers or plant stems 1210-3630 plants required per acre, 10% should be taken from male plants that is male tubers or stem cuttings required.Select virus free and disease free...
