Field preparation and planting method

• First of all, remove the weeds from the field by deep plowing the field once.

• After this, do light plowing 2-3 times in the field and make the soil level.

• Now prepare pits 1 meter wide and 1 meter deep in the field.

• Keep a distance of about 8 meters between all the pits.

• After keeping it open for a few days, put about 20 kg of cow dung in all the pits.

• To avoid various diseases and pests, fill the pits by mixing neem cake with cow dung manure.

• Now transplant the plants in all the pits prepared.

Fertilizers and Irrigation

• For small plants, use 5-7 kg of cow dung per plant.

• Large plants require 15 to 20 kg of cow dung per year.

• Fig plants do not require much irrigation.

• Irrigate at 15 to 20 days interval during summer season.

Fruit harvesting and production
