Hey Rupali! i didnt end my project… i completed it 🙂 the target, systems i had planned for, have been implemented and achieved. and the whole project is live. All the supporting infrastructure, well trained manpower, logistics, marketing is all set. Very little scope of improvement 😛 so giving quality time to my main profession now 🙂 Vivek ---

> [@Viks](#): > > hey Shantanu, > well… crop life and production does change in a PH and a Shadenet. > we need to understand why first… > conditions inside a PH are more stable as compared to a Shadenet. meaning, if the outside temperature/conditions changes, conditions inside the shadenet get affected quicker as compared to a PH. so there are a lot of variations, resulting in stress to plants. there are various medicines to reduce and control this, but the damage will be there. > > now you are planning for both green and color capsicum, both these need different conditions… > green can be grown in a shadenet, with good quality and quantity. meaning the variety can tolerate frequent changes in conditions, where as color cant. colored ones need a more stable growing environment, and they like cool conditions, this is both, for quality and for pest management. > > there have been a few discussions about this earlier, maybe if u find those, u’ll get to read something new. > > the discussion will always be open, replies from me might get a bit delayed tough 🙂 > > Vivek Thanks for the info Vivek!

[quote=Viks] yO! Pavaner! hehe… u add so much with the smiley… u seem to be really confused 😛 tee hee… ok lets confuse u all the more… i would give one advise…general one… for everyone of us… always keep asking “WHY” and try to dig into the reason… i am not gona tell u everything… but from now on… i am going to give YOU all homework 😛 so your the first one to start off with Pavaner ![;D](https://discuss.farmnest.com/uploads/default/original/1X/9a04f752f1c60be80a061272d254afd9e8b8841f.gif "Grin") first… find out the basic characteristics (hope i spelled that right) about the types of soil… dont get into much… just focus on black and red soil. what is the difference in them both? why is black soil not advisable ? next… what the hell is murum… ok i know what that is… but we need to understand why we add murum, why not an aeroplane? next try to find out what are “Raised beds” why do we make them? why not just plant the seeds on the ground level? try and find this out, and u’ll find your answer… ok i know ur thinking … instead of typing all this c\*\*p, i could have just answered and saved everyones time… but i have almost… almost summed up everything i know in bits here and there on this forum till now. but always remember… the rule at Farmnest is that all discussions are ALWAYS open… i had a feeling that if u get the answer to your questions straight, u wont come back 😛 so its your turn now… i’ll be waiting for your response… Vivek[/quote] Dear Vivek, Seems like you have achieved perfection in PH farming. Instead of discussing soil PH and other characteristics my question was simple as depth of soil is 6 meter. Whether it is required to remove 1.5 meter ? ---

Hi Vivek Nice u back to Nashik. My shadenet get affected due to heavy rain in my area but trying to keep capsicum is very good in size and weight. Some fruit get affected. Rain water makes dark spot on capsicum. Also due to weight plants getting collapse. Whats new at ur end.

hey pavaner… i think i did confuse u all the more… ok… really didnt mean to do that. soil PH is a in depth and technical topic, lets keep it for some other day. i specified that dont get into depth, just find whats the difference b/w red and black soil. see…these are the very basics… black soil has more water holding capacity, is sticky, forms lumps, where as red is totally opposite. this affects the root development, helpful growth of cultures etc. which in turn results in better crop quality. ok lets not get into details. next is about murum, 100% red soil is goooood… but it isint economical when you have to buy it. so to make up volume in the plantation media, one can add murum. red soil has less water holding capacity, so you’ll have to water your plants regularly. so a mixture is the best. there are a lot other ingredients, but we are only discussing soil and murum. everything u’ll see is inter-related and one needs to balance it. i am very particular about how much i want to invest, what is the best i can do with my limited resources, and the returns i get against my investment.

It will be great to see it but anyway no plans to travel. I am finalising on my land site for Green house. Few questions need to clarify: - what is the water requirements. And can we depend upon borewell. I was told preferable for surface water. And in that case how much do we need. I am planning GH for 1 acre and to start with 3000 Sq meter. Capsicum and others. - it will be great if you can reply to mine earlier post. Any way wish you all the best for your new farm. Regards ---
