Kasuri Methi Farming: The rice bowl, as it is known, is excellent news for Chhattisgarh farmers. Farmers may now make a fair living in Chhattisgarh‘s environment by growing the upgraded Kasuri Methi-1 variety in addition to rice, wheat, and other vegetables. Indira Gandhi Agricultural University in Raipur created this type, which is highly sought-after in the market for its unique scent in addition to producing a higher yield.
More revenue at a reduced expense
This type requires ten to twelve kilograms of seeds per hectare for cultivation. It is recommended to use 2.5 grams per kilogram of seed for seed treatment. The triangular approach of a 30 x 10 cm row layout promotes greater plant development.
How to handle fertilizer and irrigation
When preparing the land, 10–12 tons of cow dung manure should be added, along with 150 kg of nitrogen, 80 kg of phosphorus, and 60 kg of potash per hectare. Drip irrigation should be used for 30 minutes every two days to facilitate the easy fertigation of soluble fertilizers, such as NPK, in the ratios of 19:19:19 or 12:61:0 or 13:0:45.
Additionally, managing weeds is easy
Three days after seeding, it is advantageous to sprinkle 75 gm/hectare with Oxadiazil to manage weeds. Additionally, spray 1 ml/liter of water with either Emamectin 0.5 gm or Imidacloprid 17.8 SL to combat pests like leaf miners. Mycobutanil or carbendazim + mancozeb may be sprayed to prevent illnesses.
There will be a leaf yield of up to 100 quintals
In the cultivation of Kasuri Methi-1, one hectare of land may yield 90-100 quintals of green leaves and 4-5 quintals of seed. Kasuri Methi is proven to be a profitable variety for farmers because of its high market demand and competitive pricing. This cultivar is thought to thrive in Chhattisgarh’s climate. Farmers now have a fresh hope thanks to this variety created by Indira Gandhi Agricultural University in Raipur. According to agricultural specialists, farmers may maximize the advantages of this crop by using appropriate practices.
