  • Spacing:

    Maintain 15–20 cm between plants for optimal development.

Maintenance Tips:

  • Irrigation:

    Keep the soil moist in irrigated fields and ensure good water retention in rainfed areas.

  • Fertilization:

    Apply a balanced mix of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to support strong plant growth and grain filling.

  • Weed Control:

    Regular weeding helps improve nutrient absorption, leading to higher yield output.

Harvesting Tips:
