Week-by-week seasonal input schedule for major Indian crops — with exact product recommendations and dosages.
Season: Kharif / Rabi · Duration: 90–120 days
Prepare nursery beds. Sow seeds 1–1.5cm deep in coco-peat or well-drained soil. Treat seeds with bio-fungicide to prevent damping-off.
Transplant 25–30 day old seedlings (15–20cm tall) at 60×45cm spacing. Apply basal dose of DAP + MOP.
Apply NPK 19:19:19 via drip or foliar spray. Install stakes for support. Ensure drip irrigation every 2 days.
Scout for whiteflies, thrips, and aphids. Spray neem oil (5ml/L) as preventive. Remove lower infected leaves.
Switch to high-phosphorus fertilizer (12:61:0) at 2g/L. Spray boron at 1g/L to improve fruit set. Apply Mancozeb if early blight symptoms appear.
Apply potassium nitrate (13:0:45) at 3g/L. Avoid over-irrigation to prevent blossom end rot. Monitor for fruit borers.
Reduce irrigation frequency. Spray calcium foliar (2g/L) to firm up fruits. Avoid nitrogen application.
Harvest when fruits turn 50–70% red (for transport) or fully red (for local market). Pick every 3–4 days.
