Cultivation-Time of planting of corms

• North Western Plains – October (first fortnight)
• Staggered planting can, however, be done at 10-15 day intervals from mid-August to mid-December to get continued supply of spikes over a longer period and to match the market demand.
• In temperate climates, the corms are planted after the winter, i.e. in March and April when frosts are over and climate becomes warm.
