navara cultivation -- advice from Mr. M.C. Narayanan Kutty

Navara can be grown preferably as an upland crop. If you are planning to raise it in wet land conditions, please ensure that water is controlled. It can tolerate dry conditions. Wet sowing of germinated seeds or dry sowing is preferred as the crop has a duration of less than 90 days. If SRI system of transplanting is adopted give 25 cm between rows and plants. Here 7-8 day old seedlings can be planted. Organic manures like cow dung, compost etc can be used. Chemical feriliser application is not generally recommended.Prefer season with less rainfall. I think late august could be ideal in your place.
