Hello All; I am starting with drumstick cultivation around Aug-Sept in 1 Acre (To start with) of Rohit-1 variety and would be taking the saplings from Mr Balasaheb from Nasik. Would like to know more comments and suggestions from everyone who have did this before or know about this. What would be the precautions I would need to take? What would be the ROI, if everything goes well? What would be the inter crop possibilities? The land is situated bellow western ghats. (Around 100kms from Mumbai) Hoping for responses and assistance… Thanks. ---

If you are considering Rohit-1, why not PAVM?

Hi Parag, More logical reason to is reach towards the person who works and have done research on this variety. I can drive in 2 hrs incase I need to meet him… Otherwise phone is always there. Plus… Not much hassle of transportation… Regards. ---

Hello Everyone, The plantations had come very well. Plants had taken up good growth by March… quite a few were already aroun 3.5 + feet in height by March 1st Week. I had to come to US in Mid March. There was good growth in April and May and had the caretaker had started pruning the saplings to keep them to 1 meter in beginning. In mean while, due to lack of vegetation in surrounding area, cattle and Nilgai have been feasting on the leaves of the plants. Since I am away I couldn’t do much about it. Even the barbwire fence has been ineffective so far. Getting back next week… stay tuned for more updates. Thanks. ---
