The Farming House

According to current Indian government data, India is the largest producer of Turmeric globally along with the most percentage of exportation of Turmeric in the world.  Andhra Pradesh(Now Telangana) is the only state in India that holds around 37% of the total production of turmeric in India alone. Among all the spices, Turmeric is one of the most general and basic spices in all the Indian country dishes. Let's understand how turmeric crop cultivation is a practice by farmers followed by this table of content.  Dry turmeric cultivation Turmeric plant Every plant contains a bigger turmeric output by small seeds/cuttings. Small seeds/cuttings/sprouts of turmeric produce a thin smooth stem plant with fewer leaves. The leaves are the same color as banana leaves but different in shape. These leaves are pointy at the end.  Turmeric cultivation duration In tropical regions, the best time for sowing Turmeric is the late March to the first week of May. A Turmeric plant becomes ready to harv

The best time to sow gram seeds in the plain region is October to December in loamy soil. People believe that a proper yield of Gram crops can harvest only in the Rabi crop season. Despite this, it can sow in Kharif season somewhere.  Sowing in Rabi season, Gram crop can harvest in April to starting the week of May. Gram crop production  With more than 90% of the portion of the entire plant, gram is a green plant with a bunch of very small leaves. These green leaves smell a bit minty and fresh.  These leaves grow until green chickpeas khol doesn't appear.  Later, small gram peas start to fill these hollow khols. This is the first appearance of green gram in gram crop cultivation. These green grams are very soft and easy to pinch. Within a month, these green grams peas become darkish brown with the last harvesting of the green portion of a gram.  By drying these green grams, they become ready to go to the market. Requirements for Gram crop cultivation  Climate conditions required fo

Bamboo farming profit is not similar to other seasonal and yearly crops. Despite this, Bamboo farming is more profitable than other commercial crops like food and non-food cash crops. Bamboo farming yield starts from the 3rd  or 4th year, later up to 50 years from the day of the plantation.  Bamboo farming and production per acre  Bamboo farming investment per acre Most of the investment part in Bamboo farming does invest in the very 1st year of cultivation. Basic investment does use to build water systems, fertilizers, nursery plants, and irrigation water.  From the 2nd year to the next 10 years, investment does reduce just to arrange fertilizers and irrigation water only. Here, you will get the investment details for next 5 years.   1st-year investment  Water system cost- 40000 INR Nursery plants cost- 200 INR Fertilizers cost- 10000 INR Irrigation water cost- 4000 INR Labor cost- 10000 INR(for overall 30 to 50 days in year) Total cost- 64200 INR 2nd-year investment Irrigation water

Despite, the high demand for Aloe vera, its cultivation, and availability in the market is not enough. Aloe vera products demand is increasing day by day but the rate of cultivation is not similar.  In India, Aloe vera farming is getting more popular, so farmers have the opportunities to have aloe vera cultivation.  But practically, most of the farmers don't practice  Aloe vera farming, because of their profit interest and lack of awareness towards aloe vera.  To make things simple and clear, let's understand aloe vera farming yield, investment, and profit per acre.  Aloe vera yield per acre One acre land area(4046 sq meters) is enough for more than 16000 Aloe vera plants.  For per square meter, 4 Aloe vera plants cover the land. So, one-acre of land can help to grow 16000 Aloe vera plants.  After 8 to 10 months, one plant will produce  total 4 to 5 kg aloe vera leaves. Then in next three batches plant will  produce 2.5 to 3.5 kg aloe vera leaves. 16000 plants in one acre will

In countries like India, there are several reasons of vary in onion prices. Before mentioning those reasons, let's understand the basic principle of it. Onion farming profit depends on quality of  onions, yield, and the demand of onions in market. If onion is enough in market then profit will be little lesser and vice versa. In India, every year hundreds of quintals of onions waste because of storage and management lack.    To understand the onion yield in a hectare land, first you have to understand structure and project of cultivation.  Onion farming yield per hectare In 1 Hectare(10000 square meters) agriculture land, produced onions yield most of the time varies. This number can't be certain all the time but there is a range between 100 to 120 quintals/hectare/yield.   Let's understand how this number can calculate or report direct from the cultivation side.  Configuration of onion plants Line to line, plant distance must be near 25 to 30 cm, plant to plant distance mus
