To cultivate three crops, first of all the land should be plowed thrice. After this the soil should be pulverized with a rotavator. After this, beds have to be made. The distance between the beds should be five to four feet and the distance from plant to plant should be two feet. Mulching should be spread after making beds. After this drip should be applied.
profits worth millions
First of all I cultivated tomatoes. There was a profit of one lakh in this. Now I have planted brinjal first in this. When one month is left for brinjal to be harvested, then vine plants have to be planted in the space between the brinjal crops. These are also ready before the brinjals are finished. Apart from cow dung, adding potash in DAP super phosphorate helps in gaining weight. About five thousand rupees have been spent on this farming. At the same time, net profit will be up to one lakh fifty thousand. It causes leaf yellowing and leaf hole disease, for which medicines have to be bought from the market and sprayed.
