The same neighbouring state Gujarat produces more than Rajasthan. At present, the production capacity can be increased from 25% to 50% by growing improved varieties of cumin. Most of the farmers are also earning good profit by growing improved varieties of cumin. If you also want to cultivate cumin, then in this article you are being given information about how to cultivate cumin (Cumin Farming in Hindi) and the price of cumin.


Soil requirement for cumin cultivation

Sandy loam soil is required for good yield of cumin. In its cultivation, the land should be properly drained, and the pH value of the land should also be normal. Cumin is grown along with the Rabi crop, so its plants grow well in cold climates. Its plants need normal rain, and a very hot climate is not suitable for its plants. Cumin plants need 25 degree temperature after transplanting, and 20 degree temperature is appropriate at the time of plant growth. Its plants can easily tolerate a maximum temperature of 30 degrees and a minimum of 20 degrees.

 

Varieties of cumin

At present, many types of improved varieties of cumin have been prepared, which are grown to give higher yields according to different climates. R.Z. 19 , G. C. 4 , R. Z. 209 , G.C.

Land preparation for sowing cumin seeds

Before harvesting cumin, his field is well prepared. For this, first of all, the soil of the field is ploughed deep with turning halos. After ploughing, the field is left open like this for some time. After this, 10 carts of old dung manure are ploughed in the field as natural manure, due to which the fertiliser gets well mixed in the soil of the field. After adding the manure to the soil, two to three diagonal ploughs are done. After ploughing, the field is watered and ploughed.


 Fertiliser and manure management in the crop

At the time of last ploughing of the field after the plough, 65 kg of DAP should be given. And 9 kg of urea has to be sprayed in the field. After this, the soil of the field is made friable by installing a rotavator in the field. After the soil becomes friable, the field is levelled by applying pata. This does not cause the problem of waterlogging in the field. Apart from this, the amount of 20 to 25 kg urea has to be given to the plants during the third irrigation at the time of plant growth.

Seed rate for sowing cumin seeds

Cumin seeds are planted in the form of seeds. For this, spraying and drill techniques are used. To transplant by drill method, 8 to 10 KG seeds are required in one acre field. For transplanting seeds by the same spraying method, 12 KG seeds are required in one acre field. The seeds are treated with an appropriate amount of carbon dioxide before they are planted in the field. Through the spraying method, the beds are prepared for transplanting keeping a distance of 5 feet in the field.


 Sowing seeds

Seeds are sprayed in these beds and pressed with a hand or tooth. This pressurises the seed below one to one and a half cm. Apart from this, if you want to transplant seeds by drill method, then for that you have to prepare the rows in the field, and a distance of one foot is kept between each row. Sowing of seeds in rows is done at a distance of 10 to 15 cm. Since cumin is planted along with the RABI CROP, it is advisable to sow its seeds till the end of November.


Crop Irrigation Management

Cumin plants have a normal need for irrigation. The initial irrigation is done immediately after transplanting the seed, and the initial irrigation has to be done with a slow flow of water, so that the seed does not get washed away by the strong current of water. Its plants mostly require 5 to 7 irrigations. After the first irrigation, the remaining irrigation has to be done in an interval of 10 to 12 days.



Weed control in crop

Both chemical and natural methods are used for weed control in the cumin field. In the chemical method, the appropriate amount of Oxadiargyl is mixed with water to form a solution, which is then sprayed in the field after planting the seeds. In the natural method, weeding of plants is done. Its first ploughing is done about 20 days after planting the seeds, and the remaining ploughing has to be done in an interval of 15 days. Its plants require a maximum of two to three hoeings.

Crop yield

Improved varieties of cumin are ready to give yield after about 100 to 120 days of seed sowing. When the colour of the seeds in its plants starts to appear light brown, during that time the flower canopy is cut and collected and dried in the field itself. After this, the grains are removed by machine from the dried flower canopy. Depending on the improved varieties, a yield of about 7 to 8 quintals is obtained from one hectare field of cumin. The market price of cumin is up to Rs 200 per kg, according to which the farmer can earn good profits by earning 40 to 50 thousand rupees from one crop of cumin.

Features of Double-Shaft Rotavator


Double shaft rotavator pulverizes soil in one go. This rotavator can be easily operated with a tractor (minimum 35 – 40 HP). In a double-shaft rotavator both the spindles rotate in the same direction, at the same speed, resulting in better pulverization of the soil in one go. It is available in sizes ranging from 7 feet to 12 feet and different-shaped blades like L, J, and C types can be attached to the rotor to loosen the soil. 


Working width: 203 -205 mm, Operating speed (km/h): 3.63-3.91, Area capacity: 0.629-0.734 ha/h; Field Efficiency: 82.9-94.1%, Depth of Cut: 6.0-6.3 mm, Fuel Consumption: 5.90-6.29 MPH. These rotavators have become the first choice of farmers these days. Farmers, by purchasing this you can easily do plowing in one go. After using a double-shaft rotavator, you do not need to plow with a harrow or cultivator, once plowed with a double-shaft rotavator, you can sow the crop seeds directly in the field.

For your information, let us tell you that scientists say that if this technology is successful, then it will be spread all over the world very soon. He also said that with its help they can also deal with the global food crisis. 


Agriculture is changing rapidly. People are producing more crops than expected through modern agriculture. However, farmers also use various types of experiments for this. In this article, we will tell you about one such experiment. The most important thing is that if this experiment is successful then very soon you can get to eat vegetables without fertilizers and chemicals. To make them grow and develop quickly, they are being given electric shocks instead of chemical fertilizers.


An experiment is being conducted at Imperial College London

This is a type of experiment which is being conducted at Imperial College London. Here, a project on plant morphogenesis uses hydrogel cubes with electrodes to transform vertical farming. In fact, during this experiment, the fluidity in the network structure present in these translucent cubes is maintained stable. Let us tell you that for this, mild electric shocks are given to these hydrogel cubes. After that, due to this, green leaves emerge from the small air tunnels present in the lab.

Scientists said that this technology will spread across the world

Scientists say that if this technology is successful then it will be spread all over the world very soon. Let us tell you that this technology is being described as very brilliant by scientists. He says that with its help they can also deal with the global food crisis. The biggest thing is that by using it the vegetables will be chemical free which will be much better for health. Also, for countries like India and China where the population is very high, this technology will be very beneficial for them. With the help of this technology, farmers will be able to grow vegetables in abundance in their fields as well as in small places. Even for urban farmers who do farming in terrace gardens, this technology will prove to be very helpful.
