Melia Dubia plant cost of Cultivation & Economics, uses and plant suppliers

One of the major problem in today's agriculture is reducing income year by year. The land values are increased and income from agriculture is reduced due to increased cost for labors, increase in cost of cultivation and increase in transportation cost. Because of that farmers are selling land and looking for other business. So we need to think of good income from agriculture by reducing labors and increasing yield.

In today's picture, the middle men are earning the good income from agriculture products, and the farmer who produces getting less from what he produced. Since the many short term crops need more labors, transportation and inventory cost, the final gain for the farmers are very less. To make good revenues as per acre, we need to cultivate medium to long term crops keeping the cost to minimal and also good revenue in future.

Plantation/Cultivation:

Once we decide to cultivate the tree means first go with good seedling collection from Forest Departments. When direct sowing the seed without treatment , the germination percentage is less(20%). So we do alternate soaking and drying in cold water, the period of germination is 20 days and 75% germination is expected. Those having difficulty in germination, can get the seedlings(sapling) from the Plant Nursery.

Then we start planting in beginning of the rainy season, so irrigation is minimal or can use drip irrigation for 2 years.

The suggested Pit size is 2 feet x 2 feet. 10x10 feet is standard specing for better girth.

Procedure of planting:
1) Dig the pit and keep it open for 1-2 weeks.
2) Then close the pit with the soil available with digging.
3) After 2 days, open the pit slightly 1/2 feet , put Organic Manure(Vermicompost) of 0.5 kg for each pit and plant the seedling. If sapling height is more, can use support pole for each pit to avoid breaking of sapling.
4) And irrigate in same day.
