Production technology

• Cuttings are taken from healthy plants during the rainy season and planted in basins prepared after deep ploughing and harrowing. Basins 60-75cm in diameter are made 2m apart on both the sides. Two cuttings are planted in each basin to obtain one plant.
• It is necessary to keep at least one bud below the soil surface for producing roots. Usually 10-15 days are required for cutting to sprout and start growing. To get good yields, 5-10% of the vines of the male type should be planted in the field.
