Samastipur According to Dr. Sanjay Kumar Singh, an experienced scientist of the district Dr. Rajendra Prasad Central Agricultural University, Pusa, Amla (Phyllanthus emblica) is an extremely valuable fruit crop due to its nutritional elements and medicinal properties. Correct management of factors like pollination, site selection, soil preparation, irrigation, pest and disease control, and post-planting care is essential for its successful cultivation.
Selection of Amla varieties
The scientist told Local 18 to select suitable varieties, such as Chakaiya, Krishna, NA-7, and Banarasi. These varieties are adapted to local conditions and give high yields. Since Amla is a cross-pollinated crop, maintain a distance of 8-10 meters between trees and plant at least 2-3 compatible varieties together. Maintain pollinator numbers and do not use pesticides during flowering season.
irrigation management
Regular irrigation is necessary in the initial years. Water every 7-10 days in summer and use drip irrigation system. Make balanced use of organic and inorganic fertilizers. Add 10-20 kg of farm manure in each pit and use 600:300:300 grams of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium per tree.
Weed and Pest Management
Weed regularly and monitor for pests. Use bio-pesticides and avoid chemical pesticides. Prune to maintain tree structure and protect against diseases. Harvest the fruits when they are light green and shiny.
Care after planting
Mulch, protect young plants from staking, and harvest on time. Successful cultivation of Amla depends on pollination, site selection, soil preparation, and care. By keeping these things in mind, farmers can ensure healthy growth and high fruit yield.
