Dear Farmnest Members

We are planning for cultivation of Yellow Cucumber / Dosakai in 3 acres in end-January / early-February. My farm is located near Tenkasi in Tirunelveli District in Southern Tamil Nadu and we are targeting the Kerala market. The soil is loamy red and is suited for vegetable cultivation

I am writing to seek expert views on Yellow Cucumber / Dosakai on the following areas

1. Crop duration - No of days
2. Average yield per acre
3. Water requirement per acre
4. Plantation method - Direct seed sowing / broadcast; or transplantation or furrows / ridges method
5. Irrigation timeline - How often to irrigate
   6.Average retail & wholesale price in April Rs. 10 During this Rabi Season
6. Harvesting - Is it a single time harvesting or is the harvesting like other vegetable crops 90 to 120 Days.
