Practical growing guidance
- Site & soil: Choose well-drained loam to sandy loam with good organic matter. Avoid waterlogging, especially in early stages.
- Sowing: Direct seed at 2–3 cm depth. Keep soil evenly moist for uniform emergence.
- Nutrition: Start with a balanced base (N–P–K) plus Ca–Mg–S and essential micronutrients. Split nitrogen through vegetative growth and early flowering; fine-tune using soil tests.
- Irrigation: Maintain steady moisture from emergence to peak harvest. Avoid extremes that toughen pods.
- Crop health: Scout routinely; rotate crops and follow locally approved IPM. Observe PHI/REI for any plant protection used.
- Harvest: Pick frequently for tenderness and uniformity. Regular harvests encourage continuous setting and cleaner grades.
