For cultivation of spinach on one hectare of land, 30 kg of seeds are required. At the same time, if farming is done through the sprinkling method, 40 to 45 kg of seeds are required. Before sowing, treat the seeds with 2 grams of Captan per kilogram, so that the yield is good. For the sowing of spinach, keep row to row distance of 25–30 cm and a plant-to-plant distance of 7–10 cm. For spinach cultivation, improved varieties with high production can be selected according to climate and soil.
