Now farmers are cultivating many other crops apart from traditional crops. Farmers are also getting good profits from these. If you also want to earn well, then you can leave the common crops and cultivate cumin. This is a spice that is used in every home and every hotel.
Cumin is a Rabi crop grown in cool weather. The ideal temperature for its cultivation is 15 to 25 degree Celsius. Cumin is grown in sandy loam soil with good drainage. The cumin crop is ready in 100 to 120 days. After harvesting, cumin is dried thoroughly in the sun and then kept in air tight containers for storage. The cumin plant is 15 to 50 centimeters high.
There is a lot of earning
It is an important commercial crop. In India, cumin is sown from October to November and harvested in February. The fresh crop usually arrives in the market in March. The cost of cultivation of cumin is Rs 30,000 to Rs 35,000 per hectare and a net profit of Rs 40,000 to Rs 45,000 per hectare can be earned. Rs 2 to 2.25 lakh can be earned by cultivating 5 acres.
These diseases occur
There are three main diseases in cumin. These include Chhacha disease, Blight disease and Ukhata disease. These diseases are very harmful for the cumin crop. To prevent diseases in the cumin crop, apply 8-10 tonnes of cow dung manure per hectare. This is an easy way to control diseases.
