Agronomic Details

• Seed treatment: Treat with Thiram, M-45, Roko, Bavistin, or Ridomil Gold at 3 g per kg of seed for protection before sowing.

• Nursery preparation: Use sandy-loamy, well-drained soil (pH 6.0–7.5). Deep ploughing and harrowing help control soil-born fungal diseases (like Rhizoctonia, Phytophthora, Pythium, Fusarium).

• Sowing:

  • Drill seeds at a depth of 1–1.5 cm.

  • Row spacing: 5–7.5 cm.

  • After sowing, sprinkle a light layer of decomposed manure or compost, then water gently.

• Weed control:

  • Harrow twice using a hoe.

  • Alternatively, apply Pendimethalin at 2 ml per L before seedlings emerge, if using herbicides.

• Pest & Disease Management:

  • Major pest: Flower beetle — control with Fipronil (5 SC) at 1 ml/L or Carbosulfan (25 EC) at 2 ml/L, especially in rainy season (add sticker).

  • For rot disease (black/brown): At ~20 days after sowing, spray Mancozeb at 2.5 g/L in 19:19:19 NPK solution. Use micronutrient mix (Zn 3%, Fe 2.5%, Mn 1%, Cu 1%, B 0.5%) as recommended by soil tests.

• Transplanting: At 40–45 days, transplant the seedlings at a spacing of 15×10 cm, after trimming ~1/3rd of the seedling top.

• Nutrition: For a 1 ha crop:

  • Nitrogen: 150 kg

  • Phosphorus: 50 kg

  • Potassium: 80 kg

  • Sulfur: 50 kg

  • Plus 10 kg of a multi-micronutrient bag (or per local recommendations)

• Irrigation: Maintain regular watering; stop watering 2–3 weeks before harvest to help bulb maturity.
