Farmers sow two lines of maize after every four lines of groundnut in the `Kharif' season. |
|
|
| Details |
Farmers sow two lines of maize after every four lines of groundnut in the `Kharif' season. Maize is harvested earlier since it matures early. The furrows made after harvesting maize are used to collect the rainwater. It is sprinkled on the adjoining four lines of the groundnut. Farmers also assume that this practice facilitates the harvesting of the groundnut. Harvesting and recycling is done in different ways according to the local situations. |
