Care and Management Practices
Practices required for a vegetable crop growing in the field
include cultivation; irrigation; application of fertilizers; control
of weeds, diseases, and insects; mulching, trellising, pruning
and plant rejuvenation.
Cultivation
Cultivation refers to stirring the soil between rows of
vegetable plants. The most important function of cultivation
is weed control and aeration.
Irrigation
Irrigation requirements are determined by both soil and plant
factors. The two types of land irrigation generally suited to
vegetables are surface irrigation and sprinkler irrigation.
Watering is done early in the morning.
Fertilizer Application
Basal Fertilizer- application in soil by digging holes or mixing
in bed before planting (vermicompost)
Foliar Fertilizer- applied into the leaves of the plant (vermitea,
FPJ, FFJ, FAA, Calphos)
