Hi Padmanabhan Ganesan and Sr Farming communities,
This is a very nice thread. I would like to revive this tread and urge the senior farming communities to help us deriving the best fruits and varieties as requested by Padmanabhan Ganesan.
the info on varieties that you requested is available in Sri Subash Palekar jis Zero Budget Natural farming and also in horticultural handbooks. if you have a specific fruit info requirement, i can help to list out.
Can you give the websites which gives these details? It will be helpful.
I am aware the details are available TNAU website but want to get the opinion of fellow farmers so that we get a correct understanding of the situation in ground.
I am also in the process of putting together some details and hopefully will post it at a later point of time.
Dear Ganeshan,
There is no web site to give information you sought. But one can give information with their own personal experience.
Farming is personal experience and experiment, but not see some web site and copy paste.
Subash Palekar’s web site is not contained the information which you sought, but you can ascertain information you required from Shri Subhash Palekar’s books and also from a knowledgeable farmer ( Not from internet Farmers).
