Land preparation

• The land is ploughed deep, twice, to a depth of 45 cm.
• The first ploughing is done in January and the second about a month before planting.
• At the time of the second ploughing apply FYM @ 20-50 t/ha and incorporate into the soil.
• Then the soil is brought to a fine tilth by breaking the clods and removing the weeds.
• The field is laid out into plots of convenient sizes with irrigation channels, ridges and furrows at the recommended spacing.
