Pomegranate Farm Management

 Pomegranate has been cultivated since ancient times. It is mentioned as early as 3500 years ago; The origin of pomegranate is Iran and it is found that pomegranate was cultivated since 2000 AD. Like Iran, it is cultivated in Spain, Egypt, Afghanistan, Morocco, Baluchistan, Pakistan, Iraq, brahmadesh India, China, Japan, America, Russia, India.

              


In 1989-90, 7700 hectare area was under pomegranate crop before orchard cultivation was started under Employment Guarantee Scheme. Pomegranate crops are mainly cultivated in the districts of Ahmednagar, Pune, Sangli, Solapur, Washim and are also being cultivated on a large scale in other districts. At present, Maharashtra has an area of ​​73027 hectares under pomegranate crop, of which about 41000 hectares are under production. It generates an output of 410000 MT and a revenue of Rs 328 crore. Pomegranate juice contains 10 to 16 percent sugar. This sugar is easy to digest. Pomegranate juice is effective against leprosy. Similarly, the bark of the fruit is effective against dysentery and diarrhoea. Fruit peel is used for dyeing cloth. It is a tree that thrives in light soil and low rainfall in drought-prone areas. Due to this, there is a huge increase in the area under cultivation of this crop.


the weather

  Cool and dry climate is suitable for pomegranate crop. The hot summer sun and dry air as well as the cold winter are suitable for the growth of pomegranate. Good quality fruits are produced in such climates, but even if there is a slight variation in such climates, Sudha pomegranate yields well. A good variety of sweet fruits is produced if there is plenty of heat and dry weather during the period from flowering to fruiting. In low rainfall areas where water availability is limited. There is a lot of scope for pomegranate cultivation there.


the land

  Pomegranate can be grown in any soil. Very good, poor soil to heavy, medium black and fertile soils are good for pomegranate cultivation, but well-drained alluvial or alluvial soil gives better yield. Similarly, this crop is suitable for light, murmad malran or hill slope lands. But it is necessary to drain the water in the soil. Pomegranate crops can take in limestone and slightly alkaline soils lands.


Nutrients in Pomegranate

  Pomegranate fruit contains 68 percent of seeds and the seeds contain various nutrients as follows.


  A. No. Ingredients 1) Water 78.2 percent 2) Protein 1.6 percent 3) greasy foods 0.1 percent 4) fibrous foods 5.1 percent 5) starchy foods 14.5 percent 6) Minerals 0.7 percent 7) Calcium 10 ml g / 100 g 8) Magnesium 12 ml g / 100 g Oxalic acid 14 ml / 100 Gram 10) Phosphorus 70 mg / 100 g 11) Iron 0.3 mg / 100 g 12) Vitamin A 0.06 mg / 100 g 13) Riboflavin B-2. 01 mg / 100 gram 14) Nicotinic acid 0.3 mg / 100 gms 15) k Vitamin 14 ml gms / 100 gms

   Select improved varieties for summer groundnut  Summer groundnuts are sown from January 15 to February 15; should be done in between. Sowing will be delayed "so on; yield declines. "For sowing; Generally 100 to 125 kg of seed per hectare is sufficient. Improved "varieties" should be selected for cultivation which are more productive and resistant to pests and diseases. Groundnut is known as a major oilseed crop. Groundnut is a leguminous plant that spreads through the land underground and increases soil fertility. Therefore It helps in crop change and improving the soil texture, so it is necessary to cultivate the summer groundnut crop in an improved manner. Groundnut production during the Kharif season is mainly dependent on rainwater. Kharif season crop is more susceptible to pests and diseases. Therefore, the productivity of summer groundnut is higher as compared to Kharif season. The heat and abundant sunlight of the summer season favors the groundnut crop...
