Agronomic Recommendations:
- Planting Density: Approximately 10 kg of seed per acre, with spacing of 75 cm between rows and 25–30 cm within rows, achieving a plant population of 22,000–24,000 plants per acre.
- Fertilization: Apply 100 kg per acre of a balanced NPK fertilizer (e.g., 23:23:0) at planting, followed by top-dressing with 100 kg per acre of Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN) at the knee-high stage.
- Land Preparation: Ensure thorough land preparation with timely ploughing and harrowing to achieve a fine tilth for optimal seedbed conditions.
- Planting Time: Plant at the onset of rains to maximize moisture utilization and benefit from the nitrogen flush in the soil.
