Drip Fertigation: A Tool for higher Yield, Water and Nutrient Use Efficiency
Tobacco as a commercial crop has a unique place in India, as it generates a substantial amount of about Rs 23,318 crores to the national exchequer in terms of excise revenue and foreign exchange of Rs 6058 crores. Tobacco is grown under different agro-climatic conditions viz., monsoon and also in post rainy season under conserved […]

Poly Tray Seedling Production
A tray nursery technique has been developed and standardized to produce healthy tobacco seedlings to overcome disease problems and to preclude transplantation shock. The technique is simple and entails sowing tiny tobacco seeds on coconut coir pith compost and transferring the young seedlings of about 20-25 days to poly-trays for raising them on the growth […]
Conventional Seedling Production
Ideal soils (Well drained light textured soils, with low soil chlorides (< 100ppm)) is a prerequisite for successful nursery raising. Pre-sowing operations viz., deep ploughing, bed cutting and post sowing operations viz., mulching, regular watering (4 times a day) and weeding, pest and disease control measures are essential in conventional nursery which is costly and […]
