other crops.
• Drought resistant.
• Environment friendly.
• Easy to manage than other fruits.

Production technology
• Site selection : Require full sunlight
,adequate drainage and moisture retention.
• Loam or sandy loam soil with added O. M.
• pH 5.5 -6.5
Land preparation

Planting time
• Two seasons.

• Moon soon
A good grapes Orchard
• Rows orientation north - south for maximun
sunlight.
• R*R 10ft
• P*P 6ft
• plant in row for easy practices.
• Pruning.
How to plant
• We plant it in pits (2*2*2)
• Fill it with mixture of Soil ,silt and FYM 1:1:1.
• 2-3 irrigation are required for proper decay
of FYM.
• Also applied termicide.
Protection measures
• Protection from termites.
• Trellis system is necessary.
• Save from chewing animals.
• Fungicide may be applied during high
humidity period.
Irrigations
• Plants should be irrigated after transplanting
into pits.
• very sandy soil required daily irrigation.
• Heavy soil require once a week.
• In most soil irrigation is required after 2nd or
3ed day.
Trellising system
Pruning
Fertilizers
• N 150gm.(in two slpits)
• P 120gm.
• K 280gm.(in three splits)
• N before bud break and after fruit setting .
• K before bud break ,after fruit setting and
after harvesting of fruit.
Diseases
